Re: VEXpro Build Blitz

There is a shot of Paul and Karthik doing some hard core math on a white board. Can we get a description of what they were calculating?

On the JVN side there was CAD of a 72 tooth gear, something VEXpro does not make. Will this appear as a nse item, or is there a new base design?

Thanks

VEXPro certainly does offer this gear.

Ah, there was a point. "VEXpro makes every single gear... EXCEPT a 72 tooth with bearing bore, which is OF COURSE the one we need!"

15h
JVN is listing every single gear that VEXpro makes out loud. 1:30 am is starting to get the best of some of us....
This is what I was talking about...

Yes, we'll be releasing all CAD files once they're complete.

Oh wise one, whence is this 'complete CAD' of which you speak?

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
