VEX V5

A pack of 26 assorted aluminium standoffs from VEX. The standoffs can be used in mechanics and electronics to separate two parts from one another. All VEX standoffs have 8-32 threads.

The pack contains the following pieces:
4x 76.2mm (3in)
4x 50.8 (2in)
8x 25.4mm (1in)
10x 12.7mm (0.5in)

Supplied in packs of 26
Hex size is 0.250in across the flats
Light weight aluminium
All VEX Standoffs have 8-32 threads

Pillow Block Bearings are similar to the 'pillow-blocks' used in industry. They mount on a piece of structure and support a shaft which is offset either above, below or to the side of the structure.
Lock Bars allow any VEX component to be 'locked' to a shaft so that it will spin with the shaft.

Pack contains:
6x Pillow Bearing Blocks
4x Lock bars

The Optical Shaft encoder is used to measure both relative position of and rotational distance traveled by a shaft. It works by shining light onto the edge of a disk outfitted with evenly spaced slits around the circumference. As the disk spins, light passes through the slits and is blocked by the opaque spaces between the slits. The encoder then detects how many slits have had light shine through, and in which direction the disk is spinning.

The Optical Shaft Encoder can be used to improve a robot in various ways. The encoder can measure rotational distance traveled and speed, which can be used to monitor, for example, the angular position of a robot gripper arm or the speed of a robot. Knowing these parameters can greatly assist you with performing autonomous tasks with your robot.

With the Quadrature Encoder's two output channels you can measure both the position and direction of rotation of a VEX shaft. This will allow you to calculate the speed of the shaft, as well as the distance it has traveled using programming software. Encoders are typically used for “infinite rotation” applications, such as a drive wheel. A Programming Kit is needed to change the program in the VEX Controller to use the Quadrature Encoder.

VEX has the right tire for any terrain. Three different size wheel diameters (70mm, 100mm and 127mm) are included in this kit, each with a different tread type; choose the perfect wheel for your application.

2 x Intake Rollers
4 x 70mm (2.75 inch) Wheels
2 x 100mm (4 inch) Wheels
2 x 127mm (5 inch) Wheels

These VEX reinforced 12-tooth sprockets can transmit higher loads over long distances. Use these tough sprockets to withstand higher stresses and lift heavier loads. Useful for any application where regular sprockets and chain just won't cut it.

12-tooth sprockets
High strength design
Lift up to 50 lbs
Use with High Strength Chain or Tank Tread
Supplied in packs of 4

The V5 Distance Sensor measures distance to an object, approximate object size and approach speed. The distance measurement range is 20mm to 2,000mm. Below 200mm the accuracy is approximately +/‐15mm, above 200mm the accuracy is approximately 5%. The approximate object size is reported as small, medium or large, and is useful for determining if the target is a wall or a game object. Approach speed measures the approach speed of the sensor and the object.

The V5 Distance Sensor uses a classroom safe Class 1 Laser, similar to those used on modern cell phones for head detection. The laser allows the sensor to have a very narrow field of view, so detection is always directly in front of the sensor.

This 25.4mm Star Drive 8-32 Standoff Coupler can be used to connect multiple threaded beams to each other, allowing you to make custom length standoffs.

These tiles were specifically designed to prevent Electrostatic Buildup. In our testing, Anti-Static Tiles consistently showed little to no static buildup at all! These tiles are also reversible, essentially doubling their lifetime, and allowing for much quicker field assembly.

It should be noted that these Anti-Static tiles will NOT interlock with pre-existing Foam Tiles, but otherwise are practically identical. They are functionally equivalent, and any minor differences that do exist (color, thickness, Coefficient of Friction, etc.) are extremely negligible, and should not impact robot-field interaction.

These ball bearings are compatible with VEX High Strength Shafts. Unlike traditional Bearing Flats, Ball Bearings achieve a lower rotational friction through the use of rolling balls that are built into the Bearing. Great for high speed mechanisms, such as shooters and intakes!

Kit contents:
11 x .302" (1/4" ThunderSquare) ID x 0.875" OD x 0.280" WD (Flanged Bearings)
11 x High Strength Bearing Blocks
11 x High Strength Bearing Block Square Inserts
11 x High Strength Bearing Block #8 Inserts

Interlocking 2' x 2' Foam Tiles used to construct a VEX Robotics Competition field. These tiles are resistant to Electrostatic Discharge. 36 Tiles are required for a standard VRC Field. Field perimeter & hardware not included.

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 Wheels are great for quick, lateral movements.
