Referring to this link for Vexiq allowed legal parts https://content.vexrobotics.com/docs/viqc-rise-above/LegalPartsAppendix06032020.pdf , how to find 228-2500-1480 (2x Pitch Shock Absorber) for adding this to robot for vexiq competition it seems not be available from https://www.vexrobotics.com/vexiq/products/competition-products . There are few more parts that are listed as legal but not available in the available Vexiq product for purchase . Am I misreading the legal parts allowed or there is a wait for their availability?
Lots of the HEXBUG toy parts are legal so some of the parts you’ll only find in HEXBUG kits. I know these are in the Offroad Truck but @Art_Dutra_IV is probably your man for encyclopedic knowledge of what can be found where.

This is one of my favorites. I’d like a longer arm, like a 6. But the smaller one would be in the Builders Bonanza of cool IQ parts

I can see how it would be useful, but I can’t find the benefit of using it instead of just a gear with pegs/pins connecting to a 1x4.

It’s ideal for making steering arms or claws in tight places, sometimes the extra thickness is a pain.
