Not sure how often Andy or Mark check here, but if you see this, the link for the DS links to the Power Distribution Block page.

The correct link is http://store.andymark.biz/am-0269.html

Got it... thanks for catching that.

We asked our machinist to make us a long tough box shaft last year that could allow an encoder to fit onto it.... and it looked surprisingly like this

It seems like AndyMark is really leveling the playing field.

We are working on prototypes for a 10" and 21" Mecanum Wheels.

Apparently we can build small cars this year. Maybe this is necessary to house all the new electronics.

Seriously... Two 21" mecanum wheels wouldn't even fit inside the max robot length, unless the sides go up. Maybe AM is moving into fields other than FIRST?

The 7075 aluminum sprockets are nice; the extra few dollars for aluminum may well be worth the few hours it takes to broach and lighten stock steel ones from other sources.

Edit: Andy, can you post the CAD models for the 12 and 15 tooth aluminum sprockets? Thanks!

Maybe AM got a bid for something like this?

That is way too cool Art.

About those large mecanums: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...4&postcount=15

Right from the [designer's] mouth.

Well surely this means we get CIMS this year?

Not at all. It just means AndyMark is carrying them now.

Remember that AndyMark, while primarily supplying FIRST robotics teams is not limited to solely FRC. They could be carrying CIM's for a number of reasons.

The most likely reason is that it's because AM is going to be the official supplier of kit motors for FIRST, but it would be a mistake to assume so.
