Red Pin
The Red Pin connects two pieces together so that they lay flush with one another.
The Red Pin connects with one piece on each side to create a connection between pieces that are parallel to each other.
For more information on the Red Pin, see the Using VEX GO Pins, Standoffs, and Connectors article.
The VEX GO Kit contains:
- (53) Red Pins
Replacements can be ordered in the GO Parts Pack A SKU#: 269-7143
Green Pin
The Green Pin connects two or more pieces together so that they lay flush with one another.
The Green Pin can connect one piece on one side, and up to two pieces on the longer side. The Green Pin creates a connection between pieces that are in parallel to each other.
For more information on the Green Pin, see the Using VEX GO Pins, Standoffs, and Connectors article.
The VEX GO Kit contains:
- (7) Green Pins
Replacements can be ordered in the GO Parts Pack A SKU#: 269-7143
Pink Pin
The Pink Pin connects 2 pieces, and acts as a cap. It has a round section which allows it to be inserted into a round hole and it has a square peg which allows it to also be inserted into a square hole. The flat side of the Pink Pin, or “cap” acts as a flange and stops parts from passing through.
For more information on the Pink Pin, see the Using VEX GO Pins, Standoffs, and Connectors article.
The VEX GO Kit contains:
- (5) Pink Pins
Replacements can be ordered in the GO Parts Pack A SKU#: 269-7143
Gray Pin
The Gray Pin can act as both a pin and a shaft. The Gray Pin has a square peg with a flange on one side, then a round section, and a square peg on the other. The round side is a pin that can connect up to two pieces- one w/ a round hole and one w/ a square hole. The square side acts as a shaft, and can attach to one piece with a square hole.
When a square side is placed in a square hole and the Grey Pin is forced to spin. A part connected to Gray Pin will be forced to spin as well. For example, if the Grey Pin is placed in the square hole of a motor, the Gray Pin and the pieces attached to the round side be forced to spin.
For more information on the Gray Pin, see the Using VEX GO Pins, Standoffs, and Connectors article.
The VEX GO Kit contains:
- (2) Gray Pins
Replacements can be ordered in the GO Parts Pack A SKU#: 269-7143
Standoffs
Standoffs connect two pieces but leave a space in between. Each kind of standoff has a different width gap that will be created by its use.
The Yellow Standoff leaves a gap that is that is one Beam/Plate thickness thick.

Red and Green Shaft
Shafts are square rods that are primarily used as axles to allow assemblies to spin or rotate. The square shape allows the shafts to fit into a square socket in the motor or in the center of gears, wheels, and pulleys.
Shafts need to be held in place in order to enable the shaft to spin freely and not slide out of the assembly.The Red Shaft and Green Shaft have a colored plastic stoppers that act as a flange, and keep the shaft in place.
The VEX GO Kit contains:
- (4) Red Shafts
- (4) Green Shafts
Replacements can be ordered in the GO Parts Pack A SKU#: 269-7143
Capped Shaft
Shafts are square rods that are primarily used as axles to allow assemblies to spin or rotate. The square shape allows the shafts to fit into a square socket in the motor or in the center of gears, wheels, and pulleys.
Shafts need to be held in place in order to enable the shaft to spin freely and not slide out of the assembly.
The flat side of the Capped Shaft acts as a flange and will keep the shaft in place.
The VEX GO Kit contains:
- (2) Capped Shafts
Replacements can be ordered in the GO Parts Pack A SKU#: 269-7143
Plain Shaft
Shafts are square rods that are primarily used as axles to allow assemblies to spin or rotate. The square shape allows the shafts to fit into a square socket in the motor or in the center of gears, wheels, and pulleys.
Shafts need to be held in place in order to enable the shaft to spin freely and not slide out of the assembly.
The Plain Shaft is longer than the other shafts and does not have a cap or stopper. It requires the addition of a Shaft Collar to hold it in place.
The VEX GO Kit contains:
- (2) Plain Shafts
Replacements can be ordered in the GO Parts Pack D SKU#: 269-7146
Gears
The VEX GO Kit has four types of gears:
- The Red Gear has 8 teeth.
- The Green Gear has 16 teeth.
- The Blue Gear has 24 teeth.
- The Pink Gear has 24 teeth.
Gears are used to transfer force from one position to another. The Pink Pin can be used to connect gears to beams or plates while still allowing the gear to freely spin.
The Red, Green, and Blue Gears can transfer speed and torque.
The Pink Gear does not have a square hole in the center and is an “idler” gear. It is often used to transfer torque from one position to another, without changing the gear ratio.
For more information on the Gears, see the Using VEX GO Wheels, Gears, and Pulleys article.
The VEX GO Kit contains:
- (6) Red Gears
- (3) Green Gears

Connectors
Connectors create connections at a 90 degree angle allowing for a nearly endless number of options to create three-dimensional designs connecting beams, plates and other pieces.
The Red Connector connects and one round hole to allow it to receive a standard connection. Because the Red Connector only attaches with one “pin” it allows the piece to swivel, and can be used as a hinge.
The Green Connector and Orange Connector allow for the right angle connections on each side.
The Blue Connector and the Yellow Connector can make a 90 degree connection on one side and are ideal for making corner connections.

The Red Connector connects and one round hole to allow it to receive a standard connection. Because the Red Connector only attaches with one “pin” it allows the piece to swivel, and can be used as a hinge.
The Green Connector and Orange Connector allow for the right angle connections on each side.
The Blue Connector and the Yellow Connector can make a 90 degree connection on one side and are ideal for making corner connections.
For more information on the Connectors, see the Using VEX GO Pins, Standoffs, and Connectors article.
