The Thrifty Bot's goal is to provide robotics teams with affordable quality parts.
Affordable and durable 2 inch squish wheels are now available. These wheels are commonly used by competitive robotics teams to move game pieces throughout their robot.

Half inch hex hubs are often used to transfer motion between components in competition robots. This hub includes a thicker quarter inch flange that allows for tapping 10-24 / 10-32 holes or drilling and tapping to 1/4-20 sized holes. The Thrifty Hub is offered as a blank hex hub to teams to do further machining or leave stock as-is.
