At $2 each for bulk purchasing that’s only really $30 with probably $5-10 worth of spacers if using VEXpro ones

If you look at a decent alternative such as 1.5” OD Latex tubing stretched over an aluminium tube, you are probably going to be looking at $20-30( depending on what length you purchase) just for the Latex tubing, and $5 for the Al tube so there isn’t much of a price difference.

Plus a ½ hex shaft is much easier to interface with other COTS parts
