Re: Electrical Supplies
Al is right, MCM is another great place for supplies, especially their zip cord. Example is part 24-1915.

We also use Digikey for connectors, housings, pots, multiturn pots, microswitches, zip ties... We use flat spade connectors (A27868-ND) on all speed controllers for quick connections, and powerpole connectors on all motors. We use color marking tape (STD-C-ND) to label all wires, motors etc.

For Anderson Powerpole connectors we use Powerwerx, with a crimper from West Mountain Radio.

For our other fun stuff, we use Sparkfun and Adafruit.
