VEXpro 2015 Product line launch

[AllenGregoryIV]

1/2" Hex coupler is also new, I missed this the first time through.

Does it use 8-32 or 4-40s? The product page seems to list both.

This would have been nice this year, we have two couplers where the hex shaft has spun in them and pretty much are never coming apart now.

Also they are selling wire now.

Edit: Nevermind, I figured out what was different.

What happened to the Robot Direction arrow Paul Copioli talked about at waterloo? It was so teams don't forget which end goes forward in auto. Link of the idea here.

I think the 4-40s are a typo. The drawing lists 8-32s.

1.625" Colsons with a 1/2" hex bore. And 2.5" colsons too.
It's like a dream come true. Time to update some CAD files.

I'm liking this new stuff. Well done.

Any products that didn't include CAD files or drawings (where applicable) will be updated in the next day or two. But since you brought it up... the plastic VersaHub drawing and CAD file have been added

Many of these links did not get updated in time for launch to coincide with our improved product organization. Rest assured - they will be cleaned up soon.

Those are actually #4-40 x 0.375 socket head bolts. Drawing will be updated shortly - sorry for the confusion.

Anyone know if we need to do separate orders for the new motor controllers in order to have any other parts delivered on time?

I ask because Andy Mark's site recommends that you put SPs/SRX's in a different order than you would other materials.

Just realized WCP has some cool new things as well specifically on their website:

-GT2 timing pullies for RS/BAG motors
-32 DP gears for both RS/BAG motors and 3/8" hex bore
-Pneumatic solenoid and manifold setups


Definitely Looking Forward to using the 32 DP gears on intakes and other smaller gearboxes.

Wow, some great products here, any official word on the steel shifter shafts for the ball shifters, this has been hinted at a couple of times but I see no mention of it today...

Also, any chance we can get some official weights (and ETAs) on the new colsons, thats what should make them more appealing.

Please tell me these will be available on Vex Pro Canada. WCP shipping to canada is insanely pricey

[Thad House]

I notice the 7:1 and 9:1 VP reductions are back in stock. Have the issues with them been fixed?

These won't be but if you email us we can ship usps so it's much cheaper.

If only we could get Colsons with a 3/8" round bore, to remachine for 7/16" hex. Well, there's always next year to hope for....

Yes, these have actually been back in stock for awhile now.
