VersaFrame Examples

This chassis provides the “West Coast”-style drivetrain in a very versatile package. The chassis itself is assembled using 2” x 1” VersaFrame tubes and sheet-metal gusset plates. Designers can configure it into a variety of shapes & configurations using nothing but a saw and hand drill. Users can easily mount any of the VEXpro or West Coast Products gearboxes & wheels with VersaBlocks.

2 + 2

Simple, maneuverable drive base using two Omni Wheels.

Six Wheel Drive

Common drive style using a 3 CIM Ball Shifter and chain.

Mecanum Wheel Drive

Clamping gearboxes efficiently drive independent mecanum wheels.

WCP SS

Easily configurable West Coast Style drivetrain utilizing WCP SS Gearboxes.


VersaRollers & Flex Wheels

Developed in collaboration with West Coast ProductsVersaRollers and Flex Wheels were designed to give FIRST teams more... flexibility in their designs. VersaRollers can be used as a feeder or an intake roller, while Flex Wheels can be stretched over a VersaRoller tube or driven indepently via a VersaPulley or VersaHub.

VersaPlanetary Examples

The VersaPlanetary is a battle-tested modular planetary gearbox system designed specifically for use in the FIRST® Robotics market. Designers choose one of four output shafts, configure a single-stage planetary using one of six different reductions, or build a multi-stage gearbox using any of the different ratio combinations.

VersaChassis Mini Examples

The VersaChassis Mini gives teams the freedom to design almost any kind of drive system they could want. The lightweight system maximizes the robot’s power-to-weight ratio, which means you can use less power accelerating and moving your robot, and more power playing the game and scoring points.

The VersaChassis Mini can be customized to fit a variety of VEX V5 or VEXpro wheels, in one of three different wheel set-ups. These include a standard 4 Wheel Drive, 6 Wheel Drive, and an H-Drive.

D-Shaft Adapter Hub Examples

D Shaft Adapter Hubs bridge the gap between different building systems commonly used by the FTC community, allowing for easier accessibility to VEX V5 gears and wheels.

  • A perfect standalone hub for any wheel, sprocket, or gear from Tetrix, AndyMark or Actobotics
  • Attaching a VEX V5 High Strength Gear to a Tetrix wheel when you want to use a lightweight gear
  • Attaching a VEX V5 High Strength Sprocket to a Tetrix wheel as a lightweight option for chain drives

VEXpro + VEX V5 Examples

The following robot builds utilize products from both the VEXpro and VEX V5 product lines. These examples are intended to show the compatibility between the two lines, with the end result being a robot that is legal (sans the electronics and control system) for FTC and / or VEX U.
