VEX V5 Structure Quiz

Parts used to construct the chassis, levers, and sub systems.

• Structure Parts

• Angle Structure

• Chain And Sprocket

• Structure Material

An "L" shaped structure typically used for structural framing and a part used to form the "skeleton" of the robot. Ideal for attaching and supporting towers.

• Allen wrench

• Angle structure

• Tank track kit

• Flat bearing

Can be used to support and connect other structural components to stiffen a chassis, can be mounted flush to a piece of aluminum structural metal to reinforce its square holes, can provide a flat surface on a chassis to mount components like the brain, radio, and battery.

• Flat Plates

• Ribbed Slab

• Flat Bearing

• Back Plates

A member that has end connectors which provide an additional connection point. They are one of the members included in the chassis kits. A structure system beam used to form the "skeleton" of the robot.

• Gusset

• Wheel

• C-channel

• Rail or end cap

A flexible structure part used to form the "skeleton" of the robot or specialized applications. Similar to the flat plates, but have more flexibility.

• Keps Nut

• Crowbar

• Steel Washers

• Flat Bar

A structure member that has excellent strength and bending resistance is great for building robust robots. Another part (system beam) used to form the "skeleton" of the robot. The wider the member, the less likely it is to bend or twist, however will make it heavier.

• Tubular

• C-channel

• Chassis

• Angle Structure

A piece used to strengthen an angled joint. Pictured are angle, L and plus type.

• Gusset

• Keps Nut

• Hat Section Center Spacer

• Fasteners

Framework and working parts of an automobile or robot; framework to which components are attached.

• Chassis

• KEPS Nut

• zip-tie

• Flat Bar

A commonly used type of bearing in the VEX system. This bearing has three holes in a row. An axle is passed through the center hole which allows it to spin freely.

• Drive Train

• Flat Bearing

• Pillow Block Bearing

• Nylock Nut

A piece that is used to hold a moving piece (such as an axle to spin freely) in place relative to the rest of the system.

• Shaft Coupler

• Flat Bearing

• Pillow Block Bearing

• Gusset
