I'm hoping for more ball shifter gear sizes, GT2 profile VersaPulleys, more durable W-tread, maybe more VersaPulley sizes. A COTS camera mount with pan and tilt would be nice. I hope they keep everything the same with the versaplanetary. I love that whole product line.

Maybe they'll let Aren go nuts and make a Vex swerve system.

The vex swerve....that might be something crazy awesome!

Im personally hoping for some more all in one hex wheels to eliminate the need to use the versahubs.

I only have 1 wish, and its better WCP shifters. I don't like the ball shifters because of how deep they are in a WCD, and the current WCP shifters have some problems. Mainly, I would like to see a 3 CIM shifter using the 3 CIM SS plates. Great ratios, compact, and a generally nice and simple design. A flat 254 style shifter would be cool too for options, but I'd prefer the other one more.

Out of curiosity, what problems do you have with the WCP shifters? Also if you tried packaging the 3 CIM DS in SS plates there would be no room for a shifting cylinder with the current setup.

8 months?!?! We build robots in 6 weeks! Surely professionals can revamp entire product lines in 24 hours, right? :-P

Please... 3/8" hex bore versahubs.
I didn't want these before, but afer dealing with some 3/8" hex in some recent designs, they would be great.
I mean, there's 3/8" hex shaft, bearings, collars, and gears. But no versahubs, which is like the backbone of Vex IMO. It just doesn't logically follow.
Anyway, I can't wait to see the new stuff. Always cool to see all the new stuff.

[Nemo]

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what's new. I hope there's a surprise or two in there.

More gear and sprocket options would never hurt my feelings. Neither would more VersaWheel options.

If we could buy any even numbered 20 DP gear from 12T to 84T, would that be awesome or would it take some of the fun out of gearbox design?

Will VEX be selling hamsters compliant with the 2015 motor rules? More importantly are they organic free range hamsters raised in a cruelty free environment? Can we choose the gender of our vex pro versa hamsters?

If they are selling ponies then the game will definitely be water polo.
