Where do we get more extention wires for the Vex robot?

Sorry :FLAME ON:


What's up with that. I think it is odd that in order to get your VEX kit to work with a PWM, you have to make a custom cable. Instead of making the hardware architecture open and open sourcing the code (Like even LEGO is now doing) RadioShack / IFI is going to a proprietary closed philosophy.

If anyone, RadioShack and IFI should both know better. (Don't see a lot of TRS 80s around anymore.) Not a good way to increase your market share by apparently not figuring out what your customers want.

I went and bought a couple of extra long header strips to work as cable gender changers. I also am pretty sure regular rc cables won't work. They need to get filed down. Also IFI Servos and motors from previous years have different cables (4 wire) They work just fine with the VEX, but you have to make a custom cable.

whew :FLAME OFF:

O.K. I feel better now.
