Re: Dumpster Diving

A few years ago, some teammates of mine went to the local junkyard to get electrical connectors for some of the FIRST and OCCRA kit motors. I believe they found some for the old Keyang seat motors, Van Door motors, window motors, and several of the others that are automotive motors. They looked up which vehicles those motors were used in, and then went searching for junked cars with those motors, and took the connectors. It's not quite dumpster-diving, but it's close.
