We are pleased to offer these new gussets that are suitable for 1" based building systems. These thoughtfully designed gussets are made from 1/8" thick 6061-T6 aluminum, which is a much stronger material than other 0.09" 5052 gussets. All of these framing gussets feature a 1" linear hole pattern, with holes suitable for either #10 screws or 3/16" rivets.
On all of the angle gussets, a generous radius was used on the inside corner for maximum strength. The various angle gussets, along with the quad and tee gusset are used together to create structures and sub-assemblies for your robot. Our bearing and Sport gussets are perfect building blocks to create a massive variety of mechanisms and assemblies to suit your needs.

Compliant wheels are not intended for moving robots, but moving objects. Compliant wheels give way to allow rigid objects to be manipulated easily. A line of multiple wheels on a driven hex axle creates a very effective roller that ignores variations in the objects being driven. This makes for high-performance intakes and internal conveyors.
Different durometer ratings give each wheel unique characteristics. Green wheels (35A durometer) are the softest and most compliant around objects, while orange (40A), maroon (45A), blue (50A), and black (60A) wheels are increasingly firm. The increased firmness also allows the latter wheels to carry a higher RPM rating. Check out the downloads tab for a chart showing wheels and their maximum RPM.
Please note maroon wheels are only intended for use in FTC. If more powerful motors are used to drive it the spokes may fail.

Specifications:
These connecting chain attachment links, also known as K-links, are perfect for securing components that need movement, to a chain. These versions were specifically designed by AndyMark to interface with common FRC and FTC products. The #35 chain version is designed for #10 hardware on a 1 on. hole spacing. The #25 chain version is designed for #6 hardware with 16 mm (5/8 in.) hole spacing. Both versions make it much easier to interface chain to elevator systems than ever before. They can also be used in conveyor systems to move items around inside your robot.

Churro is a versatile extruded aluminum hex profile. The outside of this part is a 1/2 in. hex with small concave dimples which act as weight savings. There is an inside hole is sized at 0.2 in. in order to fit 1/4-20 thread forming screws. No tapping or threading is needed, as long as a thread forming screw is used. The outside hex size fits a 1/2 in. wrench or socket. The 3-foot churro, our most popular length and the best value on shipping, is available anodized in red, blue, purple, gold and black to dress up your robot. Anodized finish is hardy and doesn't flake off or add thickness like paint, but it is possible for a scratch to expose the bare metal beneath. Take basic precautions in your shop like watching for sharp tools or overtightening this churro in a vise.Specifications:
This adapter converts an 8 mm keyed shaft to 1/2 in. hex. The keyway is 2 mm wide. This allows you to adapt the output of a motor or gearbox like the CIM Motor (am-0255) to any of our hubs or wheels with a 1/2 in. hex bore. You'll need a 2 mm machine key (am-1121) to complete the assembly and transmit torque from the motor.
This adapter is no longer available in the 0.75 in. length.
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.
