Falcon 500: Short Shaft & Planetary Gearbox

Hi FRC!

If you have recently bought the VEX Robotics Falcon 500, you may have noticed the short shaft that usually goes along with the falcon is incompatible with the planetary gearboxes.
Here’s the CAD file for the short shaft:

You can mill the long shaft that came with the motor into the short shaft to keep your team moving forward. Best of luck this season!
