12V NiMH

[drakesword]

I searched the part numbers and came up with different places to order the parts. . .

Motor -> http://www.legoeducation.us/store/de...ID=1610&bhcp=1
~$30

Battery -> http://www.legoeducation.us/store/detail.aspx?ID=1664
~$50

Rather expensive if I do say so myself!

I did check there site in the FTC section because the manual was suggesting we use the 12V from a FTC kit but there were a lot of extra things our team doesn't need

Here's what the contents of the Mini Kit (FIRST Choice Group 1) are:

I think you're looking for the FIRST Choice page? It's one of the links from the Kit of Parts page at http://www.usfirst.org/frc/kitofparts that Kate Pilotte was so happy about during the Kickoff.

The FTC kit is from the Tetrix line of components. Most everything can be purchased through PITSCO. For example here is the page for the battery in question.

Unfortunately, all of the full Tetrix kits are listed as temporarily out of stock, but a-la-cart items are available.
