Hey y’all, I wanted to bump this conversation up regarding the rubber bands used by the Workcell. Have you accidentally snapped too many rubber bands and need more? Fear not! We can use the Overview of the V5 Workcell Kit Storage System VEX Library article in order to find any part within the kit, as well as a link to its corresponding product page. For our rubber band dilemma, since they’re stored in Bin 2, we’ll find the product link to take us here to order more.

Before we start firing off purchase orders, it is important to ensure we choose the correct rubber band used by the Workcell. Since these little guys act as the muscle of the Arm, providing pulling power to right the arm back to normal position and to aid in lifting capabilities; we don’t want to throw a wrench into the works and accidentally install a rubber band that may be too powerful now, or not powerful enough. To ensure we find the correct band, we will use the corresponding product number from the V5 Workcell Kit Storage - Bin 2 library article for our rubber band found below:

Then, on the rubber band product page we’ll match up the part numbers and find the band we need to order, and the band you should order should you need more, is shown below:

I hope you find all this information helpful, and I want you to know that this process can be applied for any part within the Workcell Kit, should you need it. :grinning:
