- PDP, VRM, and PCM won't be in the veteran kits this year. That's means teams either get them in FC, buy them, or pull them off last year's robot. Only a 1000 of each in FC and 3000+ teams worldwide now.
- Talon SRX, Victor SP, and Spark are all the same FC credit yet price per piece varies a lot in the open market.
- This adapter I believe will power the new openmesh radios. It looks like the barrel is the correct size.
- New automotive motor with feedback |
Oh wow, a window motor with built-in position sensing? Dream come true.
I've always felt those motors were very useful and under-appreciated.
