VEX EDR Custom Ratchet Design

Here's a design I came up with over the summer, but just got around to making a video on now. It's a custom ratchet design that is mounted to a 60-tooth gear (either High Strength or normal). This design has a number of uses, but I'll leave the applications up to you guys.

Not suitable for more precise mechanism, but this is a really neat simple durable ratchet. Nice

[@regansong8791]

Love the tutorial! Can you do a tutorial on the elevator lift?

[@HarryLeBerry]

Bro i needed this for spinup. Couldnt figure a ratchet out at all for cata and gave up

[@chadwickjetti8960]

what does your tower takover robot look like? Plz do a video!

[@avocatious6402]

Very professional video. Nice!

[@elihaugh4162]

Great video. I made this as a CAD model in Fusion 360!

[@Star_Night-q3y]

Thx, this helps a bunch

[@danielsamuelbayvel-zayats1962]

Can you do a video on how cascade lifts work?
thanks!

[@nathantowe4148]

Thanks man

[@AthanWright]

Where did you get your threaded rod? I am having major trouble finding where to buy them

[@calvinz9126]

vex 8-32 couplers

[@turbodog99]

Or could cut the head off a long screw.

[@vapor1148]

cool

[@challacustica9049]

Nice, thank you! This will highly affect your rpm and add friction though, right?

[@KeplerElectronics]

It really should depend on how you use it. If it's used like how I'm using it in the video, then it will add friction, but that's kind of the point. If you modify it slightly for something like a flywheel, most of the increased friction will be seen on the deceleration, which is kind of what you want with a flywheel ratchet: a freespinning wheel that isn't transmitting power back to the motor.

We have to build tower takeover bots with 6 v5 classroom super kits and nothing else. Wish us luck!

[@jacinto2977]

How would you be able to incorporate this into a bot. I am at the intermediate level of building but I don't see how I could use this. I see how it could be great to use I just don't know-how.

[@KeplerElectronics]

It's not an every-bot type of mechanism, but it can come in handy when you need it. A lot of people in Turning Point used ratchets on their flywheels to prevent the inertia from backdriving the motors. It may come in handy for something akin to that in the future.

First, sorry first time I got to do it

First!

Dang it!!!!
