FTC Rev HD Hex Shaft to Vex Mecanum Wheel Adapter

thingiverse

So our FTC team was determined to upgrade to the REV Robotics HD hex shaft motors for improved drive performance, but we also wanted to utilize our existing Vex Mecanum Wheels. The challenge was that the length of the motor shaft was too short when attempting to assemble everything on the shaft. To overcome this issue, I designed an adapter that enables you to securely mount the REV hub and retention collar between the Vex wheel and the body of the motor. If this solution proves useful to others, feel free to adopt it! I created this adaptation using Fusion 360 and have included the CAD files for added convenience.
