COTS Elevator

FIRST General Forum

Looking to design an elevator. What are some useful COTS parts for that/kits for that? Thanks.

Andymark: Full Kit, Rollers only

Vex: Gussets (see the Drawing Tab for a PDF guide)

Competition Robot Parts: Rollers only

Rev Robotics: Side (seems like you need 2 for a complete stage but I’m not 100% sure)

EDIT: Seems like AM and Rev are out of stock.

Using VEXPRO components only you can make the entire frame with Versaframe and gussets. They sell motor and pulley mounts, and the bearings, spacers, shafts, and standoffs. Basically if you make a huge vexpro order for an elevator, you can make just about the entire thing except a couple spacers I believe.

Skip to the 5 minute mark of this video for a direct comparison between the AndyMark and REV COTS elevator solutions. If you have any questions I’d be happy to answer.
