# Overview and Features

## Elevator Bearing Blocks&#x20;

Elevators can be more effective at lifting objects than arms because they don’t move the object further away from the robot while lifting. The tradeoff in performance comes with complexity, and often this has kept many teams from making elevator systems on their robots. Our collection of elevator products will help your team make a simple, reliable elevator system that will be sure to *elevate* your level of play.
