Re: What do YOU want in the Kit of Parts?
Alright lets see if we can summarize the input from thus far.. (That way Marina, myself and the other DL winners have a better chance of remembering everything)
- Improved / standardized motor mounting and chain equipment
- More victors and jaguars (although heavy emphasis on victors)
- More vouchers to companies like AndyMark, Banebots, Digikey, McMaster Carr, Home Depot
- Less fans or more useful ones
- Battery for Radio, more robot batteries and battery charger for veterans
- Microcontrollers for testing items
- A larger and more varied motor selection (including but not limited to Globe, van door, fisherprice 0673's, cordless powertool, AndyMark PG-71) especially allowing for CIMs on the robot
- More electronics in general
- The old compressor
- More PWMs and of varying lengths
- Game pieces if they are specialty
- FIRST advertising print material, i.e. brochures, stickers, etc
So far there is mixed opinion on software distribution. And FIRST has signed a contract with NI to use the cRIO through either 2014 or 2015 (my memory lapses..) so you won't see it replaced in till then at the earliest.
