5. IQ Shaft Extender

The part we designed is a rectangular box with a square slot through the length of the box that can accept the metal shafts to be connected.  The part has two holes which can accept existing VEX IQ Shaft Collars.  These Shalt Collars will hold the metal shafts in place so they do not pull apart.  The centre of the new part is solid plastic (dense honeycomb pattern) which can transfer the rotation forces (torque) from one shaft to the next.
