What COTS parts would you like to see?

[Cothron Theiss]

1/2" hex bore bevel gears.
I'm sure there are others I could think of, but that's what pops into my mind right now.

+1.
Also, iv'e been dreaming of a Versaplanetary Worm gearbox sage, with any reduction.

I would also like some improvements in the Ballshifters. (the nuts should be molded in and not put there, they keep falling into the gear and are a nightmare to get out. The CIMs seem to loosen up from time to time. The adapter for the Pancake cylinder should be made out of something more durable).

I would also love it of someone started selling good chain breaking and assembling tools for both 35 and 25.

10/10 would buy.

Clamping hubs and other hardware. I've been waiting for an FRC supplier to do a clamping hub for *years* and, so far, been disappointed.

An electric solenoid for momentary shifting that is packaged for easy swap in use with the vexpro/WCP shifters.

[RyanCahoon]

1/2" (-0.001") round solid aluminum shaft stock (for less than the 3x mark-up over VexPro that McMaster currently sells it for)

I would love this, it seems to be legal. Pneumatic actuators under a 1" stroke are legal, and it's just a matter of getting a correct mounting. I'd imaging if there's a standard size of solenoid actuators, it's just a matter of getting a shroud around it that's the same dimensions as the pancake solenoid from VEX to swap in the ball shifter.

http://www.amazon.com/Park-Tool-Scre.../dp/B01EONOJ78 for 35 or 25 chain. It's the best chain tool I've yet used for any chain.

Chain sprockets for bike chain. Bike chain has better availible tools, is availible locally everywhere, is lighter per foot than 35 (expensive stuff is the same as 25), and larger teeth mean better fault tolerance when tensioning.

An inside corner bracket for the 1" REV extrusion similar to the 15mm version: http://www.revrobotics.com/product/rev-41-1038/

A breakout board for the Talon SRX that contains the index signal pin.

A breakout board for the Talon SRX that plugs right into the motor controller, rather than requiring those really thin cables.

Not hardware, but the ability to set brake/coast in a Talon SRX with code.

Multiple sizes of Talon SRX data cable, currently the only size is 12" which can be difficult to work with.

http://www.andymark.com/product-p/am-2617.htm AndyMark sells a 6" version. I was also able to find 20cm version from random internet sources (search for 0.05" or 1.27mm 10 pin), but I agree, having multiple length options would be nice.

a CAN plug-in vision aiming module.

Uh, using CAN you can.
