Will the belts and pulleys be sold independently?

Well you only need bumpers on 3 sides of your robot this year.

It is pretty weird that AM is selling a key component of the KoP base 3 days before kickoff, though.

It appears so, the description of the product lists a product number for them.
(I want c-c numbers so we can work on drive trains :] )

Did I miss somewhere where it says that this is the 2016 KOP chassis? I saw Frank's blog post that the kit chassis would be similar to the AM14U2, which this is not IMO.

I consider tracks to be in the same “do not use” list as Mecanums. But if you like it just research previous team 383 robots, they have done amazing things with tracks in the past. ;)

Another good example would be 1619. They have a lot of good info about tank treads.

I'm pretty excited about these breakout boards for the Talon SRX. We had to have custom ones made last season, so it's nice to save time with an off-the-shelf solution.

This is reasonable but a little odd. Like why would they use a different pin out for the analog input then the RoboRIO does? Also why did they force teams to use a 5 pin connector for the encoder instead of moving the index pins to one of the sides to allow for a 4 pin connection?

I'm also not a fan of the non-latching connectors. We tried it and it ended up being a mistake. We switched to wago connectors and were quite happy. There are latching .1" options though.

EDIT: I'm also a little worried about the through hole stuff. I doubt it will short and hopefully they align with the gaps between the fins on the case but why risk it when you can do a single sided board or 4+ layers and keep the bottom clean?

These track drives look really sweet. I predict AM selling a lot of these outside of FRC. Will the individual parts be available for purchase?

Huh? Bumpers on 3 sides? Source?

Indeed it is. I just don't see it in the original post I questioned:)
