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.

Specifications

• Hole Pattern: Plates feature 0.20 in. Holes on a 1 in. Center to Center Spacing
• Material: 6061-T6 Aluminum
• Thickness: 0.125 in

This unassembled kit can be used to make a winch drum that can be powered by a 6 mm D shaft. This means many FIRST Tech Challenge familiar components can be used to drive one, including a PicoBox or NeveRest.

The plates of this drum has the FTC 16 mm bolt circle on it so you can directly drive it with a NeveRest Sport gearbox. Winch drums are useful to coil up a string or cable that is being used to actuate a linear slide or elevator mechanism this version has multiple bolt circles to change the size of the drum to coil faster or slower depending on your needs. 

Individual Components within Bundle:

• 1 - 6mm D-Bore XL Double Boss Nub 2/ Set Screw (am-3441a)
• 6 - 5/16 in. Hex Female-Female Standoff, 16 mm Long (am-3686-16)
• 2 - S3, 64mm Pulley Plate (am-3686-64)
• 20 - 6-32 x 0.375 in. HHCS, Steel Zinc Finish (am-1439)

Peanut Extrusion is an easy to use structure. The profile of the extrusion looks like a peanut and has two holes that are perfect for a 1/4-20 thread-forming screw. The added mid spans are positioned to flank a pair of bolts that self thread into the adjoining peanut extrusion. These spans prevent the peanut from getting crushed by over tightening the bolts. The advantages of Peanut Extrusion are the ease of creating rigid corner joints and the closed profile of the extrusion that prevents dust 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!

Specifications:

• Wall Thickness: 0.050 in.
• Width: 1.0 in.

S3 Tubing is part of AndyMark's system for building Simple Super Structure! These custom aluminum tubes are designed to allow FIRST Tech Challenge and others building toaster-to-microwave-sized robots a bolt-together solution for rigid, robust structures. We sweated all the details with S3 Tubing, including:
 

• Custom-extruded 16mm square profile, chosen to allow ample compatibility with common FTC parts while taking up less space on volume-limited robots.
• Fully-boxed profile, which is stronger than C-channels for long life.
• Designed for 6-32 hardware throughout to maintain harmony with our other FTC-friendly parts and the most popular building systems in FTC. Whether it's a Nub, a TileRunner, a PicoBox, or a NeveRest Sport, it'll find a home here.
• 16mm slots on two faces give you the adjustment you need on belt and chain runs but prevents hardware sliding out.
• 8mm bores flanked by 6-32 mounting holes every 32mm on two faces provides ample mounting possibilities for Nubs, PicoBox gears, 24-tooth pulleys, and more! Note that holes of S3 Tube are un-tapped.

Specifications:

• Material: 6061-T6 Aluminum
• Length: Choose from 128mm, 256mm, 366mm, and 448mm
• Width: 16mm square
