Little background for those that don't know me. I am a Controls Engineer who uses Rockwell products on a daily bases. I also own a website mrplc.com. I thought I would link up all the parts to PDF incase the students are curious so everyone could see along with my commentary about each one.
I tried to just weed through what I have noticed on the field and what I think is new. I also typed this up at lunch and was in a hurry and did not really check my grammar or spelling so sorry about that...
The bottom line of below is there are alot of new count sensors on the field this year. The rest of the BOM (bills of materials) are the standard parts we have seen before.
BEGIN BIG OLD LIST....

Nothing special with these parts, they are terminal blocks. They are found in the panel that houses the stratix network switch and power supplies. Typically the lights above the driver station, e-stop input and all things related to the red and blue alliance walls are terminated in these boxes. This would include anything with the series 1492, as this series AB numbers are terminal block and connectivity.

Circut breakers in the red and blue alliance junction boxes. It's good to have power protection. Nothing abnormal here.

More terminal blocks.

http://literature.rockwellautomation...a500_-en-p.pdf
These are industrial CAT5 cables. The field uses a Compact Logix PLC I believe last time I looked in the big black box one year at CAGE MATCH, and all the communication between the PLC, the Stratix Network switch, and the I/O blocks are done with EtherNET I/P. EtherNET I/P is a fieldbus protocol championed by them and AB released this to "ODVA". The point of the matter is that anything industrial generally has a better grade CAT5 cable, most of the time CAT6E rated cable that is shield. A better quality cable that you are going to find at your radio shack store, and also have the option of using a standard "M12" mm screw connector which gives the CAT5 cable a sort of "IP" ingress protection. Anything below that starts with 1585 have to do with standard field cables that connect all the communication between all the devices, PLC, HMI (touch screen), Armor I/O blocks etc.

1606-XLP100E
http://literature.rockwellautomation...p009_-en-e.pdf
Power supply unit found inside th red and blue alliance junction box, seen these before. There are actually two of them in the box, one that is a standard 24 VOLT and the other one is 12 VDC. This one was added to supply the PC Class Mates when you bring your driver station to the wall is what I noticed one year. All other devices, such as the driver alliance lights etc, use 24 VDC as the standard voltage. This is an industry standard.
1606-XLP50B
http://literature.rockwellautomation...p005_-en-e.pdf
This is the 12 VDC power supply I mentioned above.
1732E-16CFGM12
http://literature.rockwellautomation...n004_-en-e.pdf
These are the I/O blocks at the end wall as well red and blue alliance. Where all the I/O connection happen, not really anything special once again, we have seen these blocks before.
1738-AENT
http://literature.rockwellautomation...n017_-en-e.pdf
Now here is where is gets interesting....this is an EtherNET I/P node slave module. It requires an IP address and then is configurable to "stackable" I/O modules. You can build your remote I/O station with these AENTs. They are very flexible. QTY (63) slave units is alot...There is alot of I/O here.
1738-VHSC24M23
http://literature.rockwellautomation...n011_-en-e.pdf
And once again, these are the stackable modules that plug into the AENT module and appear as I/O. This is a special module to register INPUT data. It's considered a REMOTE I/O block that terminates local sensors. Then transmits it's data from a sensor, to the AENT module, which then sends the data up to the PLC via Ethernet I/P. QTY (252) high speed count modules is an awful lot of modules...Add that to the Emitter and Transceiver BEAM photoeyes below, and you got yourself somewhat a high speed counter.
199-DR1
http://literature.rockwellautomation...a913_-en-p.pdf
Standard DIN RAIL, to mount all the components in an electrical enclosure, your power supply, terminal blocks, and circuit break already mentioned would mount on this rail.
2711P-T10C4A6
http://literature.rockwellautomation...n029_-en-p.pdf
These are the standard touch panels that you see on the corner of the field. I have seen QTy (4) per field. This is what the scoring refs use.
42SML-7100
http://literature.rockwellautomation...a501_-en-p.pdf
These are those photoeyes the beam sending unit that will probably be wired to the high speed input modules above. AKA, a game piece counter of some sort, high speed for some reason.
42SMR-7100
http://literature.rockwellautomation...a501_-en-p.pdf
These are the receiving unit for the part number above. As others have already said, when the light beam is broken, it typically resisters an input condition which is probably counted in the high speed module and up to the PLC to keep track of.
60-2152
http://literature.rockwellautomation...a501_-en-p.pdf
Brackets for the above sensors.
800F-1MM2
http://literature.rockwellautomation...g001_-en-p.pdf
We have seen these, this is the plastic box that holds the e-stop button at the driver station. The button you never wanna hit.
802B-CSDDBSLD4
http://literature.rockwellautomation...a505_-en-p.pdf
This is a new sensor I have not seen on the field. Once again probably another counting sensor for the game piece. QTY (168) of these is alot of limit switch sensors for the field.
855E-LL24B
http://literature.rockwellautomation...g001_-en-p.pdf
These are the LED modules at the scoring table, part of the stack light that tells the scoring people when all the robots have communications.
855E-LL24R
http://literature.rockwellautomation...g001_-en-p.pdf
855PB-012ME522
http://literature.rockwellautomation...g001_-en-p.pdf
This is the amber light in the kit of parts. It's required to be located on the robot and connected to the RL output on the digital side car. With QTY (2500) that means that BOM item was placed in the KOP. That's alot of lights over the past 3 years I remember using them! Can you imagine being a part supplier for FIRST? You would need to supply QTY (2500) of the parts...wow..

Part of the scoring stack light, nothing special the TONE you hear when all robots are ready, then the stack light goes GREEN.

http://literature.rockwellautomation...a500_-en-p.pdf
This is a standard cordset for industrial sensors. It's a "Y" cable. Typically you use these when you have an emitter and transceiver sensor setup. One half of the Y cable has power only to the transceiver sensor. Typically the BLUE wire is 24 VDC common, the BROWN wire is 24 VDC hot. The other side of the "Y" cable has the input wire. It would use the BLUE and BROWN for power, then the BLACK wire is the signal wire for the emitter half of the sensor.

The rest of this is cordsets for said sensors.

9324-RLD000ENE
http://literature.rockwellautomation...a001_-en-p.pdf
Non-development license of RS Logix 5000 (typically used for maintenance people). Only allows upload and download of PLC ladder.
9324-RLD300ENE
http://literature.rockwellautomation...a001_-en-p.pdf
Standard license, but they purchase two licenses, so that must mean FIRST has QTY (2) field development engineers as that is two licenses. It would be neat to live near headquauters, I wouldn't mind seeing if I could get involved in the development of the field scoring system. I use this software EVERYDAY at work. It's called ladder logic.
