This Pneumatic Solenoid Driver Cable is this same driver cable that is included in the Pneumatic Kits. On one end of the Driver Cable is the standard 3-wire PWM Connector which connects to a VEX Microcontroller Digital Output. On the other end is the 2-wire Pneumatic Connector which mates directly to the Pneumatic Solenoid. This cable takes the digital On / Off signal and controls the 5V power applied to a pneumatic solenoid. The Pneumatic Solenoid Driver Cable is rated at approx. 3 to 4A.

Smaller black Zip Ties are used to hold together and manage cables, band rubber chords, or attach to rollers or tank tread to assist an intake mechanism. 4 inches long with a rating of 18lbs.
Tie together cables or rubber cords.
Rating of 18lbs.

Want a smoother ride? Use Bearings to reduce friction and keep your mechanisms and wheels moving smoothly.
Bearing Flats mount directly on a piece of VEX V5 structure and supports a shaft which runs perpendicular and directly through the structure.
Low friction allows shafts to turn smoothly
Mount with Screws & Nuts or Attachment Rivets

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.
Mecanum Wheels are great for quick, lateral movements.

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.

Pillow Block Bearings are similar to the 'pillow-blocks' used in industry. They mount on a piece of structure and support a shaft which is offset either above, below or to the side of the structure.
Lock Bars allow any VEX component to be 'locked' to a shaft so that it will spin with the shaft.

Pack contains:
6x Pillow Bearing Blocks
4x Lock bars

The Optical Shaft encoder is used to measure both relative position of and rotational distance traveled by a shaft. It works by shining light onto the edge of a disk outfitted with evenly spaced slits around the circumference. As the disk spins, light passes through the slits and is blocked by the opaque spaces between the slits. The encoder then detects how many slits have had light shine through, and in which direction the disk is spinning.

The Optical Shaft Encoder can be used to improve a robot in various ways. The encoder can measure rotational distance traveled and speed, which can be used to monitor, for example, the angular position of a robot gripper arm or the speed of a robot. Knowing these parameters can greatly assist you with performing autonomous tasks with your robot.

With the Quadrature Encoder's two output channels you can measure both the position and direction of rotation of a VEX shaft. This will allow you to calculate the speed of the shaft, as well as the distance it has traveled using programming software. Encoders are typically used for “infinite rotation” applications, such as a drive wheel. A Programming Kit is needed to change the program in the VEX Controller to use the Quadrature Encoder.

VEX has the right tire for any terrain. Three different size wheel diameters (70mm, 100mm and 127mm) are included in this kit, each with a different tread type; choose the perfect wheel for your application.

Simply the best way to transfer power over long distances on a VEX EDR robot. Sprockets come in a variety of sizes for different ratio possibilities. Each chain link is also a master link, which allows for quick and painless substitution. The standard Sprocket & Chain Kit is designed to carry moderate loads, while the High Strength Chain & Sprocket Kit is capable of lifting up 50 pounds!

The Sprocket & Chain Kit includes five different sprocket sizes that allow for a variety of ratios, and 4 feet of chain. Great for any application where you need to transfer power across long distances.
