First Robotics Competition
Combining the excitement of sport with the rigors of science & technology
The Ultimate Sport for the MindTM
Under strict rules and limited time and resources, teams of high school students are challenged to build industrial-size robots to play a difficult field game in alliance with other teams, while also fundraising to meet their goals, designing a team “brand,” and advancing respect and appreciation for STEM within the local community.

1 in. 8 mm to 1/2 in. Hex Shaft Adapter
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.

- Bore: 8 mm Round
- Keyway Width: 2 mm
- Length: 0.5 in., 1 in.
- Material: Steel
- Weight: 0.03 lbs

2.5 inch CIM Motor
The CIM motor is a tried and true FIRST Robotics Competition workhorse motor. This brushed DC motor is 2.5 inches in diameter and kicks out 337 watts of power.
Pinion Options:
The CIM motor shaft is 0.313 in. (8 mm) in diameter and 1.25 inches long. It features a 2 mm wide machine key slot allowing installation of any number of custom or off the shelf pinions such as those included with all of our CIM based gearboxes. Other options include a pre-attached 16 tooth pinion making the CIM ready to mate to a CIM Sport planetary gearbox or a pre-attached 15 tooth pinion preparing the CIM for an EVO Gearbox. Use either of these two options if you are planning on using either the CIM Sport or an EVO gearbox and don't want to install the press fit pinion yourself. All of our other CIM based gearboxes use a slip fit pinion & machine key and are easy for the end user to install.
Compatible Components:
- Long CIM Motor Key - 2x2x14 mm Machine Key (am-0032)
- CIM Motor Key - 2x2x10 mm Machine Key, steel (am-1121)

#25 Chain Tensioner - QTY 1
This turnbuckle chain tensioner integrates directly with #25 chain. Using a chain tool, the custom 1/4-20 link bolts replace a chain link and have the pin pushed back through it to become part of the chain. Then simply twist the center coupler to tighten or loosen the chain and tighten the jam nuts once your chain tension is perfect.
All parts are made of steel including the coupler and the custom chain link bolts are 1/4-20 thread for increased strength. One link bolt is left hand threaded and the other is right hand threaded, so take care not to mix them up if purchasing multiple sets.
Material: Steel, all of it.
