This is seriously awesome. We get all the great parts from last year, plus more parts!

Thunderhex is also an epic name.

That is our new plastic VersaHub, and can be found on the VersaHubs page here: http://www.vexrobotics.com/vexpro/mo...versahubs.html 217-4009, VersaHub (1/2" Hex, Plastic)

You may have missed it because the image didn't display at launch, but it should be fixed now. Thanks for pointing that out!

Amazing products from VEXPro and WCP aside, I really like what both companies have done with their websites.

Are the holes in that hub the same as on the Colson wheels? Are they designed for mounting or something else?

Re: VEXpro 2015 Product line launch

Is that ThunderHex a Vex invention, or is that design more common than I realize. I was planning on buying a bunch of Hex stock and bearings from them . . . but now I need to consider this stuff as well.

Those holes are just to make them moldable, feel free to use them for other things.

It's a common practice that a few teams use to avoid the headaches of tight hex bearings. (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/ar...p/t-69412.html)

But good on VEX to pass on that relief to the rest of the community.

I can't seem to find the drawings for the new plastic hub, but is there a way to use colsons with dead axles?

Re: VEXpro 2015 Product line launch

In most of the pages, alot of the links to the individual parts give 404 errors. Specifically I'm looking at the ones in the WCP gearboxes, but I see a few others as well.
