VEXPro 2014: After The Season

[Oblarg]

WCP 3CIM SS Gearbox:

Almost a great product, but unlike AndyMark gearboxes it did not ship with loctited bolts to hold the CIMs on, and the access to the bolts holding on the bottom two CIMs was terrible (unless you took the gearbox apart, but that wasn't feasible on our robot). Combination of these two factors meant that we had a couple of bolts walk out, hindering our drive for a couple matches and forcing us to spend an ungodly amount of time trying to get the bolt back in place (we ultimately had to cut the end off of an allen wrench specifically to service the gearboxes).

I realize part of this was user error, but it's something that could be improved, regardless.

I believe all VEXPro products, including those under WCP, require the user to provide Loctite when specified.

Hi all, thanks for the constructive feedback posted thus far in the thread.

Last year, VEXpro released a survey looking for customer feedback from the 2013 season. That feedback directly influenced our product development / improvement processes for the 2014 launch, and we'd like to reach out to the community once more now that you've had even more time to play with our products.

Please visit the form here:

Of course, feel free to share this link with other teams, team leaders, etc. We'll see you again next year!

Thank you for providing a direct line of input for the community to provide feedback. It's been great seeing the VexPro line introduced and improved for the last two years.
