Vex VersaHub Hex Alignment

[ttakashima]

Has anyone done testing on the versa wheels/hub for a single hub attachment with no end support?

With wheels that can get a knocks and bumps. It better to have all the support you can reasonably get. Especially since you can drop a bearing in the side opposite the hex bore.

When using the suggested hub-bearing combination for mounting onto a cantilevered drive base like a West Coast Drive, is it ideal to have the hub facing into or away from the robot frame?

We're facing ours away since you put the wheel on bearing side first, then rotate it to line up with the hex hub versus the other way around. Assembly order seems a bit easier like this.

I hadn't considered that. Thanks!
