VEX Pro Parts Feedback, 2015

[Conor Ryan]

Overall, I'm impressed by the performance of many parts. I haven't had any issues where I didn't cause the problem. Actually, we won a quality award this year because of our usage of VexPro products.

I'm looking for reasonably priced packages that will help speed up the build season process (basically to take shipping out of the equation). If VexPro had some items that would give teams flexibility in design without having to wait and see, it would be an incredible customer experience. IE - a gearbox speed sampler kit that will give me a variety of speeds I can change in and out or a kit of Versaframe parts that will let me prototype manipulators easily. I'm more concerned about manipulator design than Drivetrain kits.

Website Requests: Give us an indication of how much is left in stock, we might pull the trigger faster.

Design Requests:
Theme: help teams with limited machine capabilities win. I want to be a first round pick with only a band saw, drill press, and a handful of other raw materials.
Linear Actuator, there is a reason why RI3D sold out fast.
Swerve
COTS "Trigger style mechanism" something that could push with a lot of force in a short distance.
COTS Winch.
COTS Clutch
Hex/Key Shaft Couplings
Raw Material Kits.
