(Yet Another) Single-SKU Parts Release

Sneaking in under the wire with some parts I’ve been working on in the offseason - trying to make life easier for my students any myself by reducing the number of different parts used on our robots.

First off, my first attempt at teaching myself how to design and assemble PCBs

CANTERM

A single SKU for FRC teams providing the following features:

  1. Fixed mounting junction for CAN connections, compatible with the 0.1" pitch connector of your choice (Molex SL footprints on silkscreen)
  2. Solder pads and test points for 22AWG wire
  3. 3 connection points - create short stubs out to individual devices and have a passthrough
  4. Switchable termination - every junction can be a termination point!
  5. Mountable to standard 0.5"x#10 FRC pitch grid

Tube Block

An all-in-one configurable block for 0.5" pitch tubing.

  • Supports both gusseted and non gusseted tubes
  • Provides nut retention for blind bolting
  • stackable - does not interfere with other fasteners or each other

2399 used these a bunch last season for anti-crush and tube joinery. Print out if your best material/best settings though, spinning nuts in the retainers will make you cry.

Explainer post last year- not much has changed, just fiddled with the tolerances.
