These aluminum box extrusions are robust and lightweight solutions for custom robot frames, superstructures and mechanism construction. Made to all of your favorite English sizes, the classic 2x1 thin wall tubing is now joined by its thicker-walled counterpart. We have also introduced two thicknesses of 1x1 sizes that teams know and love to build their medium-sized mechanisms. 

For smaller mechanisms, we recommend using our 5/8 square box tube that is also compatible with our S3 line of brackets and gussets.

Available Sizes:

• 2 x 1 x 1/16 in. (0.063 in.) 6061-T6 alloy
• 2 x 1 x 1/8 in. (0.125 in.) 6061-T6 alloy
• 1 x 1 x 1/16 in. (0.063 in.)6061-T6 alloy
• 1 x 1 x 1/8 in. (0.125 in.)6061-T6 alloy
• 5/8 x 5/8 x 1/16 in. (0.063 in.) 6061-T6 alloy
• All lengths are (+/- 1in)

Be sure to all check out our Gussets as they work wonderfully with all of these wonderful extrusions.

Specifically designed for FTC, (though not limited to FTC), this remarkable system is a quick way to execute a controlled extension. Each stage of the Compact Linear Slide is controlled by a pulley system that can be rigged to power both extension and retraction.

Options:

• 1 Stage has 12.18 inches of stroke 
• 2 Stage has 24.37 inches of stroke
• 3 Stage has 36.56 inches of stroke
• Additional Stages
  • AndyMark officially supports a 3 stage system however teams may elect to add additional stages to increase reach. 
  • Note: Teams should consider the increased wraps of string on the pulley assembly when attempting to add more stages.

This product contains 8 Alligator Clips and 4 Pins, to create your own connections for tread. It will cover the needs for 4 complete Plaction wheels, or 4 connections in general. 

We use these Clips to connect the tread on our Plaction wheels. You can use these clips to rebuild your damaged tread, or make your own lengths of tread for any wheels by getting 10' lengths of tread.

Pigeon is an IMU with 9 degrees of freedom, containing a 3-axis magnetometer, accelerometer, and gyro. The gyro has built-in temperature compensation. Pigeon provides a heading by sensor fusing all 9 measurements. It can be connected to the Talon SRX for power and communication via UART, or it can be wired to the CAN bus while powered from a separate 12V source. Pigeon has built-in compass compensation for hard-iron, soft-iron, and physical tilt. The Pigeon 2.0 eliminates the need for on-boot calibration and temperature calibration and does not require stillness upon boot-up.

The MINI® Fuse is the standard for vehicle circuit protection. Its miniature design meets the need for more circuits to be protected while utilizing less space, and its ability to cope with high temperatures in adverse environments makes the MINI® Fuse of recommended choice for protection.

This mini fuse can be used in our Power Pole Distribution Board (am-3699), as well as a replacement in the Power Distribution Panel (am-2856)

This kit can be used in addition to the Compact Linear Slide to add length to the extension limit of the device. 

Each Additional Stage Includes:

• 1 - SAR330 Aluminum Slide (am-4837)
• 2 - Bearing, 3mm x 12mm x 4mm, V-Groove (am-4836)
• 4 - Screw, Flat Head M3-0.5 x 5mm Steel (am-1668)
• 2 - Screw, SHCS, M3-0.5 x 35mm, Zinc Plated (am-1671)
• 2 - M3-0.5 Nylock Nut (am-1023)
• 1 - 352 mm Pulley Mount (am-4838)

Peanut Extrusion is the 1"x1" installment of our easy-to-use structure system. The profile of this extrusion looks like a peanut, and has two holes sized for 1/4-20 thread-forming screws. The added mid-spans are positioned to flank a pair of bolts that self thread into an adjoining piece pf Peanut Extrusion. These spans prevent the extrusion from getting crushed by over-tightening. Enjoy the ease of creating rigid corner joints without gussets, with a closed profile that prevents dust and debris build up. Whether you are making a table in your shop or a strong frame for a robot, this extrusion is the one for you!

Walnut Extrusion is the 2"x1" iteration of the Peanut profile.

Specifications

• Height: 1.0 in.
• Hole Size: Sized for 1/4-20 Thread-Forming Screw
• Length: Selectable Above (+/- 1")
• Material: 6063-T6 Aluminum
• Wall Thickness: 0.050 in.
• Weight Per Foot: 0.325 Pounds
• Width: 1.0 in.

The MK ES17-12, 12 Volt, 18 amp-hour sealed lead acid battery with nut and bolt connector has proven to be a trustworthy power source for many FIRST Robotics Competition robots. 

The batteries will be packed within a 7"x7"x7" box (aka: interior box). A 3/4" layer of closed-cell foam will be packed around the interior box, within a 9"x9"x9" box. The entire weight of this double box packing assembly will be approximately 29 pounds.

Two (2) batteries are shipped within one box for this price.
