Q: Other components of the VEX kit were not addressed in the game manual. More specifically I am inquiring about the long shafts, omni wheels, tank treads, and the intake rollers.

A: Per rule <R5b> only Vex metal and fasteners may be used. The square shaft is legal but the wheels, treads and rollers you described are not legal and may not be used on a robot during competition.
The only "square shafts" in Vex are the axles.
