Back for more..VEXpro 2014 Product Unveiling

I wonder why there is a versa pattern on the versaChassis clamp?

Where are the CIM keys (2mm keys) at VEX (i.e. the easiest thing to lose)??!!??

Are you guys doing a 2014 kit bot alternative after the game comes out like you did in 2013 or does the VersaChassis take its place?

[sanddrag]

Disappointed to not see #25 hubbed sprockets with a smaller bore. Any chance you could have some just pulled from the production line. I'd be fine even with no bore. But 1/2" won't do it for me.

[geomapguy]

Are the versa planetary base models 1:1 ratios??

11 tooth pinion with the same pitch circle diameter as a 12 tooth pinion? Sounds like dark magic to me.

Looks like you can mount a versa sprocket or something to it. Arms?

Will Team JVN and Team Paul try to explicitly have two varying concepts during Build Blitz to ensure teams who watch the videos have a variety of ideas to build off of? 

I can't really speak for TeamJVN, but my team will definitely be trying to make sure there are at least two totally different robots.

Nope, just profile shift. Used to be called addendum modification. We also have a 13T pinion that fits in the same center distance as a 14T.

This may be a question geared more at RC and WCP than VexPro, but will WCP's legacy gears (specifically those with a tooth count divisible by 5) no longer be available?

Also, are there any plans for a wider assortment of 32DP Gears? I see that the CIM-ile uses 32DP internals and a really, really trick output shaft/gear, but I don't see any others elsewhere in the line.

Otherwise, all of the new products are really, really cool. Kudos to the people at Vex and WCP, 2014 is going to be really fun.

Very interesting, I haven't come across this concept before. I can't seem to locate a pinion gear section on the new site, but I will be buying some when they're up.

On some of the DS ratios, how come both the 6" and 4" wheel have the same loaded speed?

Very cool.

Best of luck guys! Great new line of products from everyone involved!

[D.Allred]

Wow. Excellent new products. The only thing you are missing are bumper mounts for the new VersaFrame, especially mounts that can take an impact from a set of 3 CIM ballshifters!
