# Introduction to VEX Parts

- [Structure](/hardware/misc.-vex-parts-1/structure.md): Hardware used to attach parts to each other.
- [C-Channels and Angles](/hardware/misc.-vex-parts-1/structure/c-channels-and-angles.md): Important components for main structural foundations.
- [Fasteners](/hardware/misc.-vex-parts-1/structure/fasteners.md): Crucial for attaching structural pieces to each other.
- [Retainers](/hardware/misc.-vex-parts-1/structure/retainers.md): Simplify robot construction with hex nut retainers and standoffs retainers.
- [Gussets and Brackets](/hardware/misc.-vex-parts-1/structure/gussets-and-brackets.md): Smaller metal pieces used to mount structural components.
- [Bearings](/hardware/misc.-vex-parts-1/structure/bearings.md): Ensure smooth, frictionless motion in moving parts.
- [Plate Metal and Flat Bars](/hardware/misc.-vex-parts-1/structure/plate-metal-and-flat-bars.md): Versatile structural components with a variety of uses.
- [Motion](/hardware/misc.-vex-parts-1/motion.md): Parts that make things go.
- [High Strength Components](/hardware/misc.-vex-parts-1/motion/high-strength-components.md)
- [Gears and Sprockets](/hardware/misc.-vex-parts-1/motion/gears-and-sprockets.md)
- [Traction Wheels](/hardware/misc.-vex-parts-1/motion/traction-wheels.md): Mitigate the effects of opposing defense with traction wheels.
- [Mecanum Wheels](/hardware/misc.-vex-parts-1/motion/mecanum-wheels.md): Clever programmers can take advantage of mecanum wheels to improve maneuverability in the autonomous period.
- [Omnidirectional Wheels](/hardware/misc.-vex-parts-1/motion/omnidirectional-wheels.md): Wheels that have a multitude of degrees of freedom thanks to their rollers.
- [Flex Wheels](/hardware/misc.-vex-parts-1/motion/flex-wheels.md): Compressible wheels that are useful for intakes, flywheels, and even drivetrains.
