Re: What NEW Vex Accessories Would You Like TO See?

Where do I begin?....
  • 4", 5", 6" Axles - hacksaw
  • A way to lock a clutch, motor and axle together so that the clutch/axle won't fall out - yes that would be nice
  • A Shaft Encoder that understands direction and counts up/down accordingly - just had the vex encoder open the other day considering printing out an encoder disk and sticking it to the plastic disk in there already then putting in a piece of perf board with a couple of hammatsu p5587's
  • A high bandwith hard-wired connection between Vextrollers or one controller and another computer/coprocessor - you've got two serial ports, there must be something you can hook up
  • An IR communication transceiver for high bandwidth comms with other Vextrollers or other computers/coprocessors - you've got two serial ports, there must be something you can hook up
  • An RF communication transceiver for high bandwidth comms woth other Vextrollers or other computers/coprocessors - you've got two serial ports, there must be something you can hook up
  • Individual and grouped LEDs of multiple colors that can be set on/off by using serial I/O to send command "bits"/"words" - one 74hc595, 8 resistors and 8 leds
  • Audio outputs - piezo speaker
  • A swivel joint made from a captive ball pierced by a rod/axle - check out sites for radio controlled airplanes

I'm sure more ideas will come to me shortly....
