Re: Ball Shifter Force Requirements
I don't know how much this helps, but our custom ball shifter engages correctly with less than 10 lbf pulling/pushing the shifter shaft. That being said we have a 45 deg taper on our shifter vs Vex's ~60 deg (iirc) taper.

Actuator Details:
Bimba Flat 1
7/16" Bore, 3/8" Throw limited to ~.28"
Engaging from 45 to 60 psi
