Power connectors, too?

Thanks for the great information about the extrusion, Andy. We've been using Item for 2 years and it has been very reliable and easy for the students to work with.

Could you also post info on the power connectors you used this year. A model number and distributor would be helpful. I saw the connectors on the arm assembly for quick connect/disconnect. I haven't used them before, but they look more reliable than the crimp connectors we get in the kit.

Also, I liked the idea of adding "extra" programming and tether ports at an easy to reach location on your robot so you don't have to reach inside the wiring to plug in.

Thanks,
Jason
