There won't be any Talons and batteries left at the end of the first day, let alone by the time everyone gets their additional kickoff credits.

The thing that stood out the most to me was the FC14-004 IR Transmitter. It looks a lot like the one from 2008(?) but with a new part number. It says it won't be in the kits, but that could be a misdirection.

Why would they have it there if we didn't need it this year? It's not like we could use it if it's not required for the game...

I'm presuming it's for the same reason they had it up there last year even though it wasn't in the game. Now what that reason actually is, I have no clue. Presumably they have them and they don't know what else to do with them.

It's a great device for teams who lost their old remotes to shop TVs, clearly.

Does anyone know if you can use 24V and 12V solenoids on the same system, or the 24V solenoids in FIRST choice with the FRC electronics at all?

Also, is it possible to replace the 1/8" port in the black tanks with a 1/4" port to more easily interface with the robot's standard pneumatics system?

You can buy 1/4 to 1/8" NPT adaptors. I believe they were included in the kit for a few years. Veteren teams should have some.


They look like this: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg

Ahh, so these are threaded NPT connectors rather than push to connect?

Yep. Male 1/8" NPT and female 1/4" NPT.

FIRST provides wiring instructions for 24v solenoids. If you want to use both 24v and 12v, you must use 2 solenoid modules in the cRIO or put the 24v solenoids on a solenoid module and run the 12v solenoids from spikes.

I think the extension cord for 0 credits is a better dealhttps://www.firstchoicebyandymark.com/en/fc14-110
