Re: connecting TALON SRX to CIM

The most common method that I've seen is Anderson Power Pole Products. I didn't they were that pricey but it's all relative, I guess (around $1.26 a set.) I think we save a bit of money by buying the...

Re: Vertical Mill for FRC

Your result may vary, I've heard of a lot of these being fake. Keep in mind a new set of Mitutoyo digital calipers go for around the $120 range for a 6" and closer to $190 for a 8".

Re: Team 254 Presents: Cheesy Arena

From what I saw (on the label from the back of the display), they used the AOC E1649FWU (http://us.aoc.com/monitor_displays/e1649fwu) displays.

Re: 254 Pneumatic ends and roller tubing

I think you're talking about ball joint rod ends. McMaster sells them.

They may or may not be similar to these (http://www.mcmaster.com/#60685K311) or these (http://www.mcmaster.com/#6498K592).

Re: pic: Versa Planetary Plate

Is it possible to switch to a 3-stage configuration? Unless there's a space issue, it should be as easy as adding a Ring gear and some longer screws.

Say a 775 - 5:1 - 5:1 - 4:1 ?

Re: Window Motor will not lift ball anymore. It did, but it wont any more.

Does the motor make any noise at all? Did you burn out the 20A fuse in the Spike?

Re: VEXPro Out of Stock

I'm going to guess that Paul Copioli is going to reply back something to the effect of "PM me your order number/the name it was ordered under."

Re: Back for more..VEXpro 2014 Product Unveiling

Use the method with the plastic plates, the second guide you posted was for the older revision mounting style. The plastic plates are better at aligning and piloting the motors to the gearbox.

Re: VEXPro Out of Stock

This would mean that the bolts are not aligned to the hex.

Re: How to make a Neutral gear with BallShifters?

That being said, we've been pretty invested in the S4's and have a decent backcatalog of them. It's a great product, I...
