Vex Planetary Gear Mounting Adapter for Tetrix or Andymark DC Motors
thingiverse
Human: FTC teams are facing a challenge in harnessing the power of Vex Robotics' compact gear boxes, known as VersaPlanetary gear boxes, to increase gear ratios for their FIRST robots. Although Vex doesn't offer an adapter to bridge this gap, our team designed a creative solution to make it possible! We successfully implemented these adapters on our robot's lifter in 2015 and achieved the ultimate goal - making it all the way to the World Championship! Other teams are also discovering the potential of these adapters and finding them super useful. Note that an additional part, a metal collar adapter for the DC motor's output shaft, is required to connect with the VersaPlanetary gear box input (also known as "sun" gear).
