New Products for 2016: Speculation, Wants

[Lil' Lavery]

Since this is turning into a wish list thread:

More support for 1/2" keyed round shafts. Not every team owns a hex broach, and 1/2" round axles often match what is available from non-FRC suppliers. Many products have this option available, but not all do, and we end up having to purchase hex hubs to accommodate those products in our design. Last year that turned into a significant delay as we waited for the hex hubs for the Colson wheels we were mounting directly on our WCP transmissions. The rest of our wheels were mounted without that delay, since we used 1/2" keyed. This can often go hand-in-hand with the hex shaft and hex bearing shortages we see during build season.
