Screws
The proverbial glue that holds your robot together. VEX V5 screws come in a multitude of lengths and two standard thread sizes, #6-32 and #8-32.
Locking screws have been coated with a thread locker to help keep them locked into place. A locking screw can be installed 10-15 times and still retain a firm lock.
Thumbscrews can be tightened/loosened by hand, speeding up robot assembly, and Shoulder Screws are perfect for pivots with minimal slop. Setscrews are used in Shaft Collars and U-Joints to clamp to a shaft.
There's nothing more frustrating than a stripped screw. With VEX V5 Star Drive Screws, this becomes a thing of the past. These grade 8 screws were designed to withstand a great amount of torque, which allows builders to truly "lock down" their mechanisms.
Note: Screw sizes are available in Hex Drive, or high-torque Star Drive.
