Re: Inexpensive Slip Ring for Turret

I agree with the others this seems excessive.

Am curious if one is allowed to manufacture a slip ring using concentric circles of exposed solid copper wire pressed into a non-conductive plate and copper shoes on the opposing plate with a Lazy-Susan bearing as the pivot. I have actually done this before outside of FRC for contraptions but what about on a competition field?

Re: Inexpensive Slip Ring for Turret

R50 Branch circuits may include intermediate elements such as COTS connectors, splices, COTS flexible/rolling/sliding contacts, and COTS slip rings,as long as the entire electrical pathway is via appropriately gauged/rated elements.

Here is a $16 possibility, 24 rings, parallel some for higher currents
