Electrical Components
Snap action breakers are used commonly in mobile robot applications such as FIRST Robotics Competition power distribution boards. We offer several amperage versions.
AndyMark heat shrink tubing in an assorted variety.
Included Hardware:
Six gauge wire is great for large current draw applications such as battery cables and distribution between primary breakers and distribution boards. This cable is resistant to oil, most acids, grease, and even abrasion! That's a TOUGH cable.
Red jacketed cabling is typically used on the positive leg while black is used for ground wiring. Six gauge wires come in rigid PVC insulation or flexible EPDM. Pick your color and pick your insulation type and let your wiring dreams come true.

This is a handy cable to connect the 120 amp breaker to the Power Distribution Panel. The cable is made of 6 gauge multi-strand wire while the connectors are securely crimped and protected with heat shrink tubing. The tip-to-tip length is approximately 5 inches. This cable is used in the Robot Power Cable Kit. Both end connectors of cable are crimped with a 6-ton pneumatic linkage crimping tool.

Included Hardware:
This kit contains one encoder and one encoder cable. The MA3 is a miniature rotary absolute shaft encoder that reports the shaft position over 360 with no stops or gaps. This is the Analog output version. Half-Turn(180*) = 2.5 V. This version provides a slight bit of drag torque, but it is very minimal. Connecting to the MA3 is simple. The 3-pin high retention snap-in 1.25mm pitch polarized connector provides for +5V, output, and ground.
Included Items:
The AM Mag Encoder is designed for a wide range of uses. This is the fastest encoder AndyMark sells with a rating of ~30,000 RPM. It features a 1024 quadrature encoder output, an index pulse, and a pulse width varied position output. The board provides mounting for M3 screws, spaced 1 in. apart.
With the RedLine Encoder Kit (am-3773), this encoder can be added to any 775 motor with a 5mm back shaft, such as the AndyMark RedLine Motor.
Specifications:
Our Robot Signal Light is designed to work with the robo-RIO's RSL port to provide a quick visual indicator of robot status. This is not the 855PB-B12ME522 light specified by R70 of the 2017 FIRST Robotics Competition manual, but it does provide similar functionality.
We're offering this product so teams can use all the diagnostic features of the robo-RIO at an affordable price when legality and compactness isn't a priority. Our light housing is larger, and it is wired with two spade connectors. There is no polarity on the light housing, so it is not possible to wire backwards.
To wire this light, we recommend our 2-wire cable (am-2133) and either soldering to the spade connections or using a female spade connector available separately.
Specifications:
This is the perfect fit to connect any 12V Lead Acid Battery, like the MK ES17-12 to either our 1-Bank or 3-Bank chargers. It also helps connect the Battery Beak to 12V Lead Acid or 7.2V/9.6V/12V NIMH batteries. You can connect to a battery with our Battery Cable installed, and connect to your needs using the Alligator Clips. On the Anderson Power Connector end, the connectors are crimped with a 6-ton pneumatic crimping tool, the others are crimped to Alligator Clips for easy attachment to terminals.
Specifications:
Use the Anderson Power Pole to 2-pin JST VH Adapter Cable to connect your existing motors to the REV Robotics Expansion Hub.
Connections:
AndyMark heat shrink tubing.
Specifications:
AndyMark heat shrink tubing! Use this to cover bare connectors and ensure no electrical shorts happen.
Specifications:
This light weight 8-way ganged fuse block features a single input terminal for all fuses, blade connections for ease of use, and a single ground block. Use our 5 Amp, 10 Amp, 20 Amp, and 30 Amp Snap Action Breakers. Perfect for quick setup and demos. This replaces our old 6-way ganged fuse block and separate ground terminal to save you money and space.
Recessed fuse contacts help prevent shorting of circuits and includes ground terminals
Specifications:
This is a product created by eStop Robotics. The genius of this design is the molded piece that interfaces with features in the 12 volt sealed battery used in competition robotics. The Battery Base molded plastic piece interfaces with a robot battery, while the fastening strap holds the battery onto the Battery Base. This provides a secure method of mounting a battery to a mobile robot base.
Tip-to-tip length is approximately 12.6 inches.
These plugs are intended to indicate batteries that are charged. They fit into an Anderson Power Products (APP) SB-50B Connector.
Usage:Batteries not fully charged should not have a plug inserted into their APP connector. Instead they should be put on charge.
