It mentions on ball shifter page that they provide mounting points for the US Digital and Greyhill encoders.

Can someone provide me a part number for the Greyhill encoders?

Scroll down to near the bottom of the page, they have a link to the Greyhill 63R series encoders.

Future Electronics sells them, for example, but you can find them at a better price if you look. I think Digikey has them for about $10 less.

We were just about to buy over $100 in wheels at Andymark. Now I think we'll probably buy those beautiful VersaWheels for a mear $40.

Amazing work guys, I've already started downloading all of the CAD models.

Thanks!, Bryan

[Madison]

Having spent a bit of time playing around and looking at the different CAD models, I am now very impressed. These are a very well-designed set of components that work together in many combinations.

Excellent work.

This is going to be a great FIRST season. The best thing in the new lineup is the 7075 gears.

What I wish they would offer though is the 7075 #25 hubbed sprockets with a smaller bore (7/16" or less).

We'll likely be making our own for 2013, but if we didn't (as in the past), we'd be going to AndyMark for them.

Well, well, well... I just happen to be needing a couple dozen CIMs and speed controllers for a non-FRC application.

Fortunately I don't need them until after kickoff... I've got a feeling VEX's shipping department is going to be a bit like Santa's workshop for the next few weeks.

IFI earned my respect a decade ago with their equipment and support. Then they came up with that whole awesome VEX thing. Now this... sign me up as a fanboy.

P.S. I love the other FRC vendors, too... but IFI has been there "forever" for me.

[BleakRNS]

This looks pretty darn cool. Thanks, VEX.

All products being available includes usage of the PDV, right?(I ask here instead of looking it up primarily because I didn't get the chance to look while the site was up)

The different time period for Canada is a one time situation, to ensure that we're able to move our bulk shipment of inventory across the border in time. After kickoff, VEXpro orders placed in Canada before 3:00 pm eastern, will typically ship same day. If you're in Ontario, this usually means you'll be getting your products the day after you order. For teams local to the GTA, we offer same day pickup service at our office between 9:00 and 4:30 pm, all for a low flat rate of $5.00. We'll also have some products on display so you can take a look at them in person.

This really is a game changer! As a team with limited resources at our disposal certain designs are much feasible with these new product lines!

Thank you IFI!!!

EDIT: Already placed an order!

[connor.worley]

IFI has been nothing but impressive recently. This is great!

222 is very excited to see someone finally producing Ball Lock transmissions! Something some of us 222 mentors have been dreaming of for years now!

We spend more than the asking price of IFI's whole transmission on gears alone just to build ours every year for the last eight years going on nine!

I see lots of nice products at amazing prices! We can't wait to check out and try out the Ball Lock shifters!

I cannot believe it. We literally just bought $150 in bearings from McMaster on Monday. We could have gotten them all for half as much if we knew this was coming. These products and prices are absolutely jaw dropping.

McMaster has an amazing return policy! You don't even need to pick up a phone or get an RMA.
