The AndyMark Compact Elevator system is our next generation line of products to help FIRST Robotics Competition teams create high quality, reliable and robust linear motion mechanisms, such as an elevator or extension arm. The core of this system are the Bearing Kits, which are designed to be easily integrated into your robot design, and provide smooth rolling motion for your linear mechanisms. The primary load direction is supported by high strength 13mm Cam Follower needle bearings installed within machined aluminum blocks for a compact but robust bearing solution. The secondary load (or lateral loads, in a traditional FRC elevator,) is supported by 695ZZ ball bearings to keep your linear mechanisms moving and aligned. The 6061-T6 aluminum blocks have thoughtfully designed features integrated into them, including alignment grooves to help locate and support them along box tubes, as well as nut pockets machined in to support the M5 nylock nuts that retain the Cam Follower bearings.
These bearing kits are designed to accommodate up to .125" wall 1x1 and 2x1 Aluminum Box Tubing. Available in single corner bearing kits, 4 packs for 1 stage mechanisms and 8 packs for 2 stage mechanisms.
These bearing kits ship as an unassembled kit of parts.

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.

These 2.25" diameter HD (heavy-duty) solid-core Compliant Wheels are intended for manipulating objects where you need a little 'give' in your intake system. These wheels deform out of the way to allow rigid objects to be manipulated easily. This makes for high-performance intakes and internal conveyors. These wheels do not require the use of expensive hubs to be driven, thanks to their integrated high strength polycarbonate hubs - which are made from the same mold that creates our Hex Molded Spacers.
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, 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.

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.
