While my team and I were attending a FIRST robotics seminar in Minneapolis we attended a "class" about (I think) a 6-week survival guide. While I was there they mentioned several websites that could be helpful to us. Two of them were CheifDelphi.com and TheBlueAlliance.com. They also mentioned a really good site for ordering parts. I need help finding it. I need some suggestions and I already tried Andymark.com...:D

The AndyMark site is AndyMark.biz

McMaster is another supplier used by many teams.

DigiKey is great for electronic parts. You get a discount for buying in bulk and they ship very quickly.

You mean you already tried andymark.biz? or what? Lol.

A lot of teams make their robot out of 80/20

www.8020.net

Is there something else you are looking for?

Also. If you plan on using CAD. I would recommend this site.

All of the presentations from the Minnesota Splash are posted on the MN Regional website (http://www.mnfirstregional.org/MNEvents/index.html).

I see quite a few suppliers in the chassis presentation including IFI in addition to the ones already mentioned. The IFI robotics items are now marketed under the VEXpro line and can be found here (http://www.vexrobotics.com/products/vexpro).

Are you looking for something in particular? The suppliers are very different for a sensor versus a gearbox.
