M3 Hardware

M3 Hardware Basics
The REV build system uses M3 hardware to connect, or fasten, brackets and structure together on a robot. Different applications require different length screws. When attaching a bracket to extrusion, shorter screws are generally required. Use longer screws to connect Control System components and other thicker materials.
See the “Tips and Tricks” section of this guide for best practices when working with the M3 Hardware.
