Well the testing is done and the verdict is in. The Wrist Kit is coming off of our VEXplorer Robot!
While it does improve dexterity in situations where the Vex explorer robot is being observed directly. It's effect on camera view in remote teleoperations are ultimately what got it nixed on our bot. We also believe that retrieval was faster and more certain without the Vex wrist kit addition.
I guess we still see our VEX Explorer being primarily used for remote operations.
I would however give the wrist kit good marks for durability and quality of construction. We offten used it like a crab leg to assist the robot in climbing over pizza boxes and such.
I really think and an elbow or "wrist" jointed arm that ended in two powered Vexplorer wheels would be a neat addition.
Take Care,
Alan
