Re: Old Parts

Always check the FIRST manual for that year before using any parts (the flow chart at the end of The Robot section is very handy). Also, What is and isn't legal now may radically change next year with the introduction of a new control system. However, here's what I believe is allowed this year...

Kitbot chassis with gearboxes - Chassis yes, gearboxes probably not
6 1/4" shaft CIM motors - If the part number is FR801-001 then yes
A bunch of circuit breakers - 20A, 30A and 40A MAXI fuses yes
Crimp connectors - yes
A 2004 Robot Controller and OI - yes for now, but I'd recommend only using it for like a test bot, not your competition robot
An "Edu bot" and controls - again, not for competition but for a testbot
Tons of PWM cables - yes
Pneumatic tubing - If it is from previous kits, yes
11x 1 1/2" bore pneumatic cylinders - Check BIMBA free order form, depends on stroke
4x 2" bore cylinders - Check BIMBA free order form
5x 3/4" bore cylinders - Check BIMBA free order form
A pneumatic rotary actuator - Check BIMBA free order form
A gallon bag of pneumatic fittings - probably yes
A bag of pressure guages and sensors - probably yes
A bag of solenoids - probably yes
A breaker panel with a PWM port and a serial port - not sure what this is...
8 Victor 884's - yes
8 Spikes - If their same as this year's kit, yes
Some more serial and tether cables - yes
3 more batteries - For competition, only the 2007 and newer batteries are allowed (newer batteries are a light gray, older ones are a dark gray)
A bunch of servos - Model HS-322HD, yes
A CMU camera - yes

Again, check the manual before using anything
