Mounting

The following examples illustrate some simple mounting solutions for the Ballast Blocks. These configurations are designed to simplify integration into a variety of robot designs.

External Tube Mounting

The Ballast Block can be Externally Mounted using eight #10-32 x 1-1/4"L bolts threaded through a tube and into the Ballast Block. These holes follow the standard 1/2" Pitch Spacing, making it a perfect fit for Punched Tubing and other common FRC components and an easy addition to drivetrains.

Internal Tube Mounting

The Ballast Block can be Internally Mounted using eight #10-32 x 1/2"L bolts threaded through a tube and into the Ballast Block. These holes follow the standard 1/2" Pitch Spacing, making it a perfect fit for Punched Tubing and other common FRC components and an easy addition to drivetrains.

The Ballast Blocks can also be simultaneously mounted both internally and externally on the same tub, as shown below.
