3.05 lbs

*For most products on the WCP page, if you configure the product it will update the weight for you

Also, how do you use CIM style motors with VersaPlanetaries? I saw that you used them this way in Build Blitz, and that they could be essentially "officially unofficially" used like this in last year's version. Is there any special trick to doing it this year? How do the CIMs mount, etc?

I had the same question. Check this out from last year.

I remember hearing something about products beings shipped from WCP will have 2 day shipping to any California team. What do you guys think would be the standard time to ship from WCP to Portland? Is Portland close enough for that, or would we have to pay for 2 day shipping to get it in two days.

Most if not all California orders ship in one day via FedEx ground. Surrounding areas such as Washington, Oregon, Nevada, etc.. ship in 2 days via FedEx ground. You can see the FedEx map here. We are just receiving our initial shipment of parts from VEXpro tomorrow and orders will start to be packaged and shipped the same day. We apologize for the delay of getting these orders out to customers as we know these orders are extremely time sensitive.

Thats great. The only thing we have ordered so far is the SS gearboxes, but will most likely have a very large order sometime next week. If its 2 day ground shipping, we will try and get it in either monday night or sometime tuesday, so hopefully it would be here for saturday assembly.

Is it possible to get the 2 stage ball shifter with a 4" long output shaft? The CAD model of the "long output shaft" 2-stage shows a 1.59" long shaft.

Martin,

The "long output shaft" is intended for sprocket/pulley drives to a final ratio, as such the max length is 1.59".

If you want to extend this shaft you may look at using one of the colson live hubs as a hex extension to another piece of axle (rather deep hex bore).

Or if you're up to it you can press out the axle and insert your own (heat will be required), this may be difficult but is doable. If you take that route please pay attention to internal features you must replicate.
