VEX Robotics is educational robotics for everyone. VEX solutions span all levels of both formal and informal education with accessible, scalable, and affordable solutions. Beyond science and engineering principles, VEX encourages creativity, teamwork, leadership, and problem solving among groups. It allows educators of all types to engage and inspire the STEM problem solvers of tomorrow!
SG Education are the exclusive partner of VEX Robotics in the Republic of Ireland. We supply all the components for the annual VEX competitions held throughout the country and work with schools and educational establishments to support the development of STEM education amongst their students.
There's nothing more frustrating than a screw with a stripped head. With VEX Star Drive Screws, this becomes a thing of the past. These star drive screws are able to withstand a greater amount of torque than standard hexagonal VEX screws, allowing builders to truly 'lock down' their mechanisms.

These square shafts have rounded corners which allow them to spin easily in a round hole, while locking into a square hole. 305mm (12in.) shafts Work with motors, wheels, gears, and bearings Cut to length to make your own custom shafts Supplied in apack of 4
Larger 6.35mm (¼in.) shafts are tougher, stronger, and ready for even the most stressful robotic applications.
These thicker shafts are more resistant to both twisting and bending fatigue, meaning that you should have no fear of designing high-torque gearboxes or high-impact drivetrains. Works with all VEX High Strength Gears Works with the 3.25in. Omni Wheel and 3.25in. Traction Wheel Length 305mm (12in.) Supplied in apack of 4
High Strength Sprockets and Chain allow for higher loads to be transmitted across long distances. The Sprockets come in five different sizes, allowing for numerous ratios to best suit your needs. The High Strength and Sprockets are also capable of lifting up to 50 pounds, so make sure to use them on your heavy lifting mechanisms!
Assembling a VEX robot just got easier with our Hex Nut Retainers. With a center hole sized to securely fit a Hex Nut, a #8-32 screw can be tightened without the need for a wrench or pliers. When mounted, they provide multiple points of contact on structural components for stability.
VEX C-Channel has holes on 0.500" increments. This structural member';s excellent strength and bending resistance is perfect for building robust robots. Multiple sizes available, in two different material types Made from cold rolled steel, or 5052-H32 Aluminum Each channel is segmented into cuttable 2.5" pieces

Wheels Defense may not always win championships, but being able to move does. Put some power on the floor with our large variety of wheel options available for builders. Omni-Directional or Mecanum Wheels are great for quick, lateral movements. If you need more grip, Traction Wheels offer great pushing ability and are designed for optimal grip on soft surfaces like the foam tiles used in the VEX Robotics Competition.
Use these extension cables to extend the length of your motor, sensors, and other electronics wires. The 2-Wire Extension Cable Bundle includes: (2) 6" cables (2) 12" cables (1) 24" cable (1) 36" cable

Because that wheel isn't going to drive itself. Give your motors something to turn with VEX EDR Drive Shafts. Want a smoother ride? Use Bearings and Shaft Collars to keep your mechanisms and wheels moving smoothly, and locked into place. Use spacers if certain parts of your robot need to be properly positioned, or you need to add space between metal.
A standoff is used in mechanics and electronics to separate two parts from one another while creating a rigid connection. All VEX Standoffs have 8-32 threads.
Gears are one of the primary sources of power transmission in VEX EDR. We offer a variety of both normal and high strength gears, that come in a multitude of shapes and sizes. Start with a simple project like building a gear reduction, and work your way up towards building more complex mechanism such as a differential for a drivetrain. More information on gears and power transmission can be found in theVEX EDR Curriculum. Note:We are currently transitioning our stock of 84T gear packs (276-3438) from Green to Red gears. You are not guaranteed to receive the color shown in the product photos.

Thesechain linksfromVEXcan be combined in any desired lengths to form a chain up to 48 inches. The chain can be used as part of a robotics design project or in a range of other applications. Suitable for use with VEX Sprocket ; Chain Kit (available as VEX 2762166) Includes 140 chain links 20 chain attachment links Every link can act as master link Links 0.25in. wide
VEX U-Channel has holes on 0.500" increments. This structural member’s excellent strength and bending resistance is perfect for building robust robots.
Lighten the total weight of a robot or mechanism while still keeping it strong. VEX aluminum kits contain the same metal components as standard structural kits (C-Channel, Plates, and Bars), at a fraction of the weight for improved robot performance! Compatible with all VEX Motion and Structure components. Aluminum Structure Kit (275-1097) (1) 25x25x2 Aluminum Chassis Kit (4) 1x2x1x25 Aluminum C-Channels (1) 1x5x1x25 Aluminum C-Channel (2) 5x25 Aluminum Plates (4) 1x25 Aluminum Bars
