Go to Post An FRC team's success should not be measured in how many robots it can build or how many blue banners it can collect. It should be measured by how many engineers (and other professionals) it 'builds'. - jvriezen [more]

Question Question about buying electronics

I'm in charge of ordering parts for my team, and yesterday one of the engineers came to me asking me to go and buy another Victor speed controller...

The problem I found was that you cannot spend over $300 on electronics, and over $100 for anyone device

The victors sell for $115

you get 4 in the KOP, but the electronics diagram FIRST profides shows 9 victors...

so are you only allowed to use the ones in the KOP???

You can have as many Victors as you want. I swear some of the robots I saw last year had 10 of them...

Re: Question about buying electronics

no, you can buy as many Victors and relay Spikes as you want - they dont count towards the $300 electronics limit, they only count towards the $3500 total robot limit

BTW you get them from InnovationFIRST.com

Re: Questions about buying electronics

Is there restrictions on buying more solenoids for your robot?
