The 1/2inch jhex broached wheels were out of stock, so we bought the ¾ Outside to ½ insde Hex extrusion from Mcmaster-Carr and glued them inside of the wheel.

Were there any fit or tolerance issues with the 3/4 to 1/2 hex extrusion with the 1/2 Hex shaft? Was this the first time 1114 has used this?

Thanks for all the insight on the robot and more importantly the processes.

Nope, there were no issues with this. That being said, we only used this method because of the supply issues with Banebots; not really a technique we'd be interested in repeating.

I agree that this is not a go to method, but it is another tool if needed. I'm always being shown or finding new things on McMaster's website.
