Elevators can be used to lift objects high above the robot without extending reach and center of gravity outside the robot the way an arm does. It can also lift the robot as well!
Double chain lifting
Dual motor options
Kraken X60 support
Bearings on all surfaces
Configurable to be as tall or wide as needed
Stackable stages, allowing for 3+ stage elevator assembly
The only limits on the height of the elevator are the lengths of the tubing sold, which is 59". The carriage width has a lower limit of 8" wide, but there is no maximum width. That limit is determined by the user. The widths of all other stages are determined by the carriage.
The Greyt Turret is one of the simplest and most accessible turreting systems on the market. Use the Greyt Turret to aim a shooter or other mechanism in a different direction than your robot is facing. Combine with vision to get automated targeting, or control manually to point a mechanism wherever you'd like!
7.5” diameter hole allows for game pieces and other objects to travel through the turret
Pre-roller add-on kit makes it easy to feed game pieces up into the turret in a controlled fashion
Easy adjustability of compression
Compatible with Kraken X60, 775pros, and the VersaPlanetary
Option for Direct Drive or Belts
Compatible with GreyT Turret
The 2020 WCP CC utilized the Greyt shooter for scoring in the outer and inner ports the target in the 2020 FRC game Infinite Recharge. The shooter was used in combination with the Greyt Turret and the Limelight 2+. This combination is simple to use and combine for a robust scoring system. The shooter can also be used as a stand alone assembly.
The GreyT Shooter (9.5”) is the next iteration of the GreyT Shooter. Originally designed for the 2020 FRC Game: Infinite Recharge. The new GreyT Shooter accepts 7.5”, 8”, 8.5”, 9”, and 9.5” distances from a 4” wheel to the hood.
Easy adjustability of compression
Compatible with Kraken X60, VersaPlanetaries
Option for Direct Drive, Belt Drive, or Gear Drive
Gear Drive option allows teams to really fine tune RPM during testing
Compatible with GreyT Turret
New Top Roller plate allows teams to alter the spin of the game piece and shoot further
These Ratio Options Apply to the Gear Drive Configuration.
| Ratio | Driving Gear | Driven Gear | Output RPM (Kraken X60) |
|---|---|---|---|
1:1 | 40T | 40T | 6000 |
1.5:1 | 32T | 48T | 4000 |
1:1.5 | 48T | 32T | 9000 |

1 stage, 2 stage, 3 stage, 4. Extend it, retract it, lock it, score! The Greyt Telescope kit lets you make a linear telescoping system with 0 effort. Any length, up to 4 stages, and all the power you need from Falcon 500 motors. Lock your telescope in place with either the ratchet and pawl or the WCP friction brake. Use it for fast and secure climbs, or any other fine-controlled linear mechanisms. Elevate your gameplay with the Greyt Telescope today! Some cool features:
Works with .060" and .125" wall tubing
Integrated Brake or Ratchet
1 to 4 stages available
All bearings, no sliders
No CNC machining required
The image below shows the equations for calculating the length of each tube. Each of the moving stages are 1/4” longer than the preceding stage, and the first stage is 1” longer than the base tube.
The max tube length for each stage (excluding the output stage) is roughly 40”. The is due to the max safe extension of the CF Springs sold by WCP, which is 40”.
The holes in the bottom of the Base Tube and top of the Intermediate/Base Tubes are used to pin the Top Blocks and Gearbox to their respective tubes. The holes in the bottom of the Intermediate Tube are used to install the Bottom Blocks, Hardstops, and CF Springs to their respective tubes. The top of the output tube will be determined by the user. This is the recommended spot for the Telescope String to anchor to, as it is the easiest place to do so.
Unless otherwise specified all holes are 0.196”, or clearance for #10-32 Bolts
