VEX V5

Gears are one of the primary sources of power transmission in VEX. This kit provides several options for advanced motion. These parts allow advanced mechanical VEX designers to create new ingenious mechanisms.

Create linear motion with the Rack Gears
Transfer motion by 90 degrees with Bevel Gears
Add a differential to your drivetrain
Get a high-reduction with the Worm Gears
Increase design possibilities for your robots

A set of 3 spare V5 Robot power cables from VEX. These cables can be used to connect the V5 Robot Brain to the V5 Robot battery Li-Ion 1100mAh.
Set of 3 lengths - 180mm, 300mm and 500mm

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.
