New Robot Electrical Parts

[sanddrag]

I really liked the power ditribution block and ground stud. The new Maxi fuse block was good too. The included electrical conectors were good quality but there wasn't enough quantity and variety. I would like to see battery connectors switch over to the single PowerPole 75 Amp units like these

I don't like the 6 gauge wire, it needs more (finer) strands so it is more flexible. The 10 gauge wire could be higher quality as well. I don't particulary like the ground area on the regular fuse panel but it has been working fine so there's no reason it shouldn't continue to do so. I really liked the change in the battery's terminals to plain blocks instead of U shaped terminals. As stated before, the Anderson PowerPoles (I think they are the 45 Amp ones) for 10 gauge wire would be beautiful. Plugs, wire, and pins should be provided for making your own PWM style cables to plug into the headers on the RC. The red tether (or was it programming) serial cable should not be female to female. I thought I read a good reson for it once but I can't remember and I don't like that thing anyway (although the red is cool).

I think at least two shaft encoders/ rotation sensors and once gyro/tilt sensor/accelerometer should be provided.

That's about all I can think of right now.
