Gears are one of the primary sources of power transmission in VEX EDR. We offer a variety of both normal and high strength gears, that come in a multitude of shapes and sizes.

Well something has to power that 1:4 drivetrain doesn't it? VEX EDR High Strength Shafts and hardware are specifically designed for those applications that typical shafts just can't handle. Use these shafts in high-torque or high-impact situations, and never worry about your gearbox or intake breaking again.

High Strength Sprockets and Chain allow for higher loads to be transmitted across long distances. The Sprockets come in five different sizes, allowing for numerous ratios to best suit your needs. The High Strength and Sprockets are also capable of lifting up to 50 pounds, so make sure to use them on your heavy lifting mechanisms!

Intake rollers are specifically designed for ball intake systems. The flexible rubber fingers grip the ball. The fingers also deflect, allowing for ball size variation.

Spare plastic trucks from the VEX EDR Linear Motion Kit. Includes (8) Inner Slide Trucks and (8) Outer Slide Trucks.

The Linear Motion Kit provides a method for VEX builders to create linear mechanisms. Utilize the low friction slide rails for your own mechanisms or combine them with included Rack Brackets and VEX Rack Gears (not included) to build direct driven linear actuators. Each of the plastic slide trucks has self-tapping holes for VEX 8-32 screws which allows for easy assembly.

• The rails have holes on 0.500" increments.
• Two rail lengths included - 12" and 17.5"
• Use with VEX 8-32 hardware (not included)

Pneumatic cylinders use compressed air, rather than motors to produce motion that rests in one of 2 states: fully extended or fully retracted. The cylinder in Pneumatics Kit 1 is single-acting -- it uses air to extend the cylinder rod, but uses a spring to return to its contracted state. As a result, the cylinder may expand and contract at different speeds. In contrast, the cylinders in Pneumatics Kit 2 are double-acting and use compressed air to both extend and retract.

Because that wheel isn't going to drive itself. Give your motors something to turn with VEX EDR Drive Shafts. Want a smoother ride? Use Bearings and Shaft Collars to keep your mechanisms and wheels moving smoothly, and locked into place. Use spacers if certain parts of your robot need to be properly positioned, or you need to add space between metal.

Chain and Sprockets are the best way to transfer power over long distances on your VEX EDR robot. These chains are designed to carry moderate loads, and our sprockets come in a variety of sizes to create a number of ratio possibilities. Each chain link is also a master link, which allows for quick and painless substitution.

Use this tank tread to build robot tracks which can overcome tough terrain, or build a conveyor belt for scooping up objects.

• Climb over obstacles and traverse tough terrain.
• Drive through sandy or soft spongy surfaces.
• Can be used for a robot conveyor belt.
• Every section is a master link, create treads of any length.

These upgrade links should be useful to designers wishing to create more advanced mechanisms utilizing the tank tread.

• Different Tread-Links Increase Functionality.
• Get High-Traction on Smooth Surfaces.
• Compatible with Tank Tread Kit, High Strength Chain & Sprockets.

The VEX Turntable Bearing Kit provides two options for low friction, high load rotational joints. These are especially well suited for rotational joints with lots of side load - this kit makes it easy to build a turret on your robot! Integrated gearing makes each turntable simple to actuate while other features allow for a variety of design uses.

• (1) 2.6" diameter Turntable Bearing
• (1) 4.25" diameter Turntable Bearing

Universal joints provide a mechanical link between two intersecting, non-parallel shafts. Each side of the VEX U-Joint includes a socket for a VEX square shaft, and a set-screw to hold the shaft in place.

• Create complex robot mechanisms
• Transfer power "around corners" and at angles

The V5 Claw Kit provides additional functionality to any robot build by allowing you to easily grab and manipulate objects.

Note: Motor required and not included.

• Dexterous enough to grab a feather
• Comes partially assembled
• Compatible with all VEX Mechanical Parts

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 or Mecanum Wheels are great for quick, lateral movements. Need more power? Traction Wheels offer great pushing ability and are designed for optimal grip on soft surfaces like the foam tiles used in the VEX Robotics Competition.
