Go to Post The problem is though, as long as the teams are allowed to work on their robots on Thursday, they will, and they'll never learn to finish it before the event. - sanddrag [more]

Re: What COTS parts would you like to see?

Mostly spacers, standoffs, and more shaft selection.

Spacers
  • 1/4 Threaded spacer for 1/8" and 1/16" 1x1 and 2x1 Al tube
  • Delrin spacers for 3/8" hex and 1/2" and 3/8" round

Standoffs
  • Common standoffs availble through Vex/AM/WCP to save on McMaster orders
  • Round and hex variants

Shafts
  • Thunderhex-style 3/8" hex with bore and similar variants for 1/2" and 3/8" round
  • Some grinding on the thunderhex to improve fit with hex bearings
  • Perhaps some steel variants of the current thunderhex/bored round shaft

Also, a more robust option for VP encoders. As mentioned above, plastic would be nice, but the boards and wires themselves need some sort of reinforcement.
