This is an awesome resource to have. This will save so much time in the future. Nice work.

This is an awesome idea and I love the clean layout of the site. If I may make a suggestion, you should add bumper materials. We at robopromo.com have been helping teams with all things bumper related for five years now - from the raw materials themselves to customizing iron on numbers and even making pre-sewn bumper kits to help teams save time during the build season. It could be another helpful addition to the site.

Check us out at www.robopromo.com

I compiled a list of suppliers last year from a thread.
Here is the link to it: https://goo.gl/w4eBRK

Feel free to make additions to the list, and use it for your own good.

We are truly amazed at the feedback we are getting both in email, this thread, and in person. The limiting factor in us getting new categories posted on the website is the time it takes to do the research.

If people are interested we have created a Google Spreadsheet that everyone can update. Once we see enough data in a category we will add it to the site.

Thanks for the help.

Awesome resource - thank you for making it!

Major props for crowd-sourcing resources too. I just added a 2nd source for an encoder (which includes CAD files that AndyMark does not have).

Re: Announcing findrobotparts.com
 
Is there any way to incorporate USED parts and make it a community selection? I wished there was an easy way to share what used parts we have to other teams in the FIRST community.

+10 for The Robot Space as well...Clint rocks it hard in Michigan. Thank you.

Thanks for the site. Could you please make the images clickable to a larger image so we can look close? Thanks.

Also, about the 8mm sizing for the CIM motor shafts, I have found when I put a caliper on them that they are actually 5/16". Anyone else actually measure the shaft sizes for the CIM and mini-CIM?

Nice work!

Have you started an endless task?

Re: Announcing findrobotparts.com
 
We have added several of the updates that were supplied and also added The Robot Space. By the end of the weekend we hope to add a new category or two.

Apparently yes but it is a great value to the community so it is worth it.

I wasn't sure what the most effective way to represent this on the spreadsheet would be, but the VexPro VersaPlanetary is actually load rated for reductions up to 324:1 when using certain motors and output shafts on a 3-stage configuration.

See page 5 on this PDF for reference.

We have added a Wheels section and Compressors. We hope to launch a couple more sections tomorrow.
