thanks! our notebook isn't the most polished or comprehensive, but here it is docs.google.com/presentation/d/1XAdbzfuOf3krEtOGMNjLfzQb18NBJZKLq4Tx_HUAgXM/edit?usp=sharing
Hey! We sold all of our vex parts so we can’t make any more videos about vex. We used an angle grinder to shave down the teeth. Going slowly and methodically is the best way to get a good result. Best of luck!
Nylon nuts are legal. We used plastic thumbscrews (sold on vex website) and shaved the heads off of them to make legal nylon screws. Thankfully, nylon screws and nuts are legal again now
This bot has some really cool features… but I completely disagree with the way you are “saving weight” it feels like you went crazy saving weight in certain areas and then completely disregarded it in others. For example the hs axel brace is completely unnecessary. You also used nylon to mount your berrings and then put poly over them with steel screws to “protect them”. Just feels to me like it was a hopeless cause and most of the weight you could have saved comes from the primary geometry of your bot. Coming from someone who made an 11lb bot.
To be clear I don’t mean this in a harmful way or anything. I still ❤ vex hex, just wanted to share my view of the building process and critiques with this robot.

one of the best this year, great work
i need a full gaming setup reveal
I used to use a double stage intake, but the build quality was NOT it, so we kinda just scrapped the idea…
always banger videos
had a blast competing with and against you!
love ya 💜
can you make a video on like building tips and just tips for vex in general to help people out
Would you be willing to share your notebook for future teams to reference? Would love to see what a world-class notebook looks like.
Many thanks!

Hi but can you make a tutorial on how you cut your 24t gear?

do you use any special tools to cut your high strength structure? or just a drill?
yep, just a hand drill
How do you guys cut your delran so accurately do you use a laser cutter
You guys are such a great team always the first team I look at for meta
We use a laser cutter to cut our delrin. Thanks for the kind words!
Is the high strength axel better than a regular standoff?
I ❤ VEXHEX 😢 gonna miss you ben
love him
We ❤ VEX HEX 606X 💜🖤💜🖤
Gonna miss you guys, you guys were awesome
🖤
I thought nylon screws and nuts were pushed to be illegal?
Nylon nuts are legal. We used plastic thumbscrews (sold on vex website) and shaved the heads off of them to make legal nylon screws.
Thankfully, nylon screws and nuts are legal again now
I love Ben🥰
We'll miss 606X
What do you use to cut your polycarb plates?
They’re 3D printed with multiple filaments to get the different colors
@@606X thanks! what about your Scata polycarb arm what did you use to cut that out?
@@braydensmith6069 we laser cut those
how did you cut your gears? they are so clean
we used a belt sander to shave off 1/8" from either side for the plastic gears.
for the halfcut 24t gears, we used an angle grinder to chop in half
still my goat
Where Neb mech😢
