We’re thrilled to announce our triumphant return to the FRC scene! We’re bringing back our commitment to innovation and high-quality parts, and to celebrate, we’re offering a massive 50% off on 50+ FRC parts:
Headline Items:
$1: 1/2" Hex Bearing each
From $2.5: HTD 15mm and 9mm Belts (Sizes from 60t to 250t)
The photo above gives you a sneak peek at some of the other exciting FRC products we currently have in development. Stay tuned for more updates on those soon!
But that’s not all! Swyft Robotics is also making its grand entrance into the FTC world with three game-changing new products:
Plus, we’re giving away FREE FTC robot sign kits to every team worldwide this season! We’ve already distributed to over a hundred teams in North Texas, and there are plenty more waiting for you on our website: Swyft FTC Robot Sign - FREE – Swyft Robotics
Event organizers: Need robot signs in bulk? Contact us at [email protected], and we’ll hook you up!
We can’t wait to see the incredible robots teams will create with these new products. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, and we’re here to support your robotics journey every step of the way.
It will likely be a lifetime discount, we have 3 warehouses in the United States and are attempting to clear some inventory to make way for new products.
Yes, the AprilTags will be offered for free in the virtual kit of parts, it will be a complete set of stickers for the 2025 field. Teams will have to cover shipping, more details will be posted later in the year.
The laser cutters we’re offering are unbranded models that we sourced directly from China to support our bumper production. We decided to make them available to teams as well. They come with our standard 30-day warranty, and Swyft Robotics will provide full support and assistance for any questions or issues you may encounter, just like with our Omio CNC machines.
You guys have really stepped up your game this year. We’ve sourced a lot of hardware (bearings, mostly) from Swyft in the past, but it’s cool to see some brand new products.
Those FTC drive modules look particularly interesting, might have to check those out at some point.
You’re absolutely right, we haven’t officially released pricing for the bumpers yet as they’re still in the late stages of development. However, we’re currently targeting the following:
Individual Bumpers (Red or Blue): $550
Set of Both Bumpers (Red and Blue): $1000
Each bumper will come fully assembled with fabric, pool noodle, wood, and your team number already attached. You’ll also receive all the necessary mounting hardware to easily fit it onto your robot.
I understand that the price might seem a bit high, but there are a few key reasons for that. First and foremost, we’re committed to using only the highest quality materials, including 13-layer Baltic birch wood, solid core pool noodles, 1680D ballistic nylon fabric, heat press vinyl numbers, and top-of-the-line mounting hardware. We’ve also invested significant time and effort into developing this product to ensure it meets our high standards.
Our priority is to deliver a premium quality product with excellent lead times, even if it means selling fewer bumpers overall. We believe this approach will ultimately provide the best value and experience for our customers.
Can you give us a spec for the type of vinyl material you are using for the numbers? In my experience the stuff you get at most craft stores does not last very well.
If the bearings are greased, they probably won’t free spin very well. But they shouldn’t cause much drag for your mechanism. If you have something that needs minimal friction, you’ll need to remove the shields, clean out the grease, and replace with a light oil. I wouldn’t do this for most things on a robot.
Of our 1/2" hex bearings? The bearings are greased and were made in a huge bulk order about 5 years ago and we have been selling them since without issue.
The grease is pretty heavy compared to some rival products, so right out of the bag they feel viscous… but it’s a smooth viscous and they work great in every application we have used them in.
Oh, that makes sense, my coaches didn’t say anything about it so I assumed it was bad that they did not free spin.
And @Swyft_Robotics they were from WCP.
