Vex Hands/Accumulators

Accumulators

Claw

Conveyor Belts Conveyer belts- These manipulators can be used to lift objects or move them horizontally. They consist of the tank tread kit (P/N: 276-2168) or chain from the high strength (P/N: 276-2252) or regular sprocket (P/N: 276-2166) sets. They commonly included something to keep the objects from slipping on the belt. This could be physical structures such as the tank tread upgrade kit's (P/N: 276-2214) conveyer flaps, zip ties, screws through the tack treads, or metal structures like the angle gusset attached to the tread. Many times the conveyer belt is integrated into a roller claw. All conveyer belts require at least one motor to activate

Conveyor Belts Pros and Cons Advantages – Can move objects horizontally or lift them vertically. Requires a low to medium torque application. Can be constructed out of the parts from the classroom lab kit. Disadvantages- take up a large volume on the robot, can raise the center of gravity of the robot
