VEX Synthetic Rubber Bands have dozens of uses on a robot. Their spring-like properties make them perfect for latches, triggers, and return mechanisms. 3.5" x 1/4"(89mm x 6mm) Thickness: 1/32"(0.8 mm)

The V5 Robot Battery Li-Ion 1100mAh is the next evolution of the VEX EDR NiMh Battery, which will provide you consistent performance every time you power up your robot. This Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) battery is equipped with circuitry and control to allow for higher sustained power and more reliable function. The V5 System as a whole is designed to produce identical motor performance at any battery charge level. This means that the same battery can be used for multiple competition matches or class periods before needing to be recharged. LiFePO4batteries are proven to offer longer life cycles, and are safer than Lithium Ion batteries.

Battery run time depends on many factors including your robot design, your driving, and the number of motors used. Robots' often get 30+ minutes of heavy drive time from a single charge. Competition teams should be able to use one Robot Battery for multiple matches without recharging. Remember that with V5, a low battery does not change the motor's performance.

Built-in charge indicator lights

Charge time is approximately one hour

Note: Battery power cable and charger not included. (Power cable ships withV5 Robot Brain)

Gear Options

Mechanisms such as flywheels and arms do not need large external gear ratios when the driving motor is already outputting a targeted output speed or torque. Therefore, changing internal gear ratios to fit specific needs allows more efficient and compact mechanisms to be designed. Use the clear window of the V5 Smart Motor to identify one of three user-changeable colored gear cartridges:

36:1 (100 RPM)- High torque, low speed. Great for robot arms and lifting heavy objects
