1/4" pitch parts

VEX V5 General Discussion Technical Discussion
#1

Like other teams, spending time dumping parts out of the many Plano boxes, doing a resort and reorder on parts that I’ve gone through.

I have some of the 1/4" pitch parts that I thought would be useful, but it turns out they haven’t been used.

Any of you have used / using the 1/4" pitch parts? If so, what did you use them for?

#2

I’ve seen them used in end effectors where small size was important. But not often, since I doubt most teams have ever even heard of these parts.

#3

Always knew they existed but never had a reason to buy them. I have never seen people buy them or use them.

#4

Wait, what the heck are 1/4" pitch parts?

#5

With the new organization I couldn’t quickly find it on VEX’s site but here it is

Edit:
also I found it on the mexico version of the site

You can only get these parts in a kit. Manufacture was probably discontinued years ago because nobody bought the stuff, and VEX is using up all the inventory by including it in a kit. When it’s all gone, they’ll likely change the kit contents a bit.

#7

I’m pretty sure that these parts are long gone. Those links both look dead to me, although it is possible that the Mexican reseller might have them in stock.

#8

So the answer is, other than me futzing around with them, they really haven’t hit the main stream??

#9

@Foster Well are they useful?

#10

Oh yeah we got some of those. Was wondering what those were. This is only my second year doing VEX so some of the parts are new to me :smiley:
