This is an encoder cable used to provide power and receive encoder signals from a Hall Effect Two Channel Encoder and break out each connection to a single pin perfect for a 2.54 mm pitch. This encoder is provided on our RS775 motor, which is on our PG Gearmotors as well as the NeveRest motor, which is on these Gearmotors:
It has a common white connector on the end addressing the encoder and four individual female connections to fit into the input connector on a robot controller.
This is the cable designed for the encoder that is pre-attached to the NeveRest Series of motors and gearmotors. It has a connector on the opposite end to directly interface with the REV Expansion Hub or the REV Control Hub.
2019 Update:
The 'a' version of this cable as the encoder channels swapped so that the encoder counts in the same direction as the output shaft spins. This simplifies the usage of the encoder with the various programming languages for FTC!
Compliant wheels are not intended for moving robots, but moving objects. Compliant wheels give way to allow rigid objects to be manipulated easily. A line of multiple wheels on a driven hex axle creates a very effective roller that ignores variations in the objects being driven. This makes for high-performance intakes and internal conveyors.
Different durometer ratings give each wheel unique characteristics. Green wheels (35A durometer) are the softest and most compliant around objects, maroon (45A), blue (50A), and black (60A) wheels are increasingly firm. The increased firmness also allows the latter wheels to carry a higher RPM rating. Check out the downloads tab for a chart showing wheels and their maximum RPM.

These 2.25" diameter HD (heavy-duty) solid-core Compliant Wheels are intended for manipulating objects where you need a little 'give' in your intake system. These wheels deform out of the way to allow rigid objects to be manipulated easily. This makes for high-performance intakes and internal conveyors. These wheels do not require the use of expensive hubs to be driven, thanks to their integrated high strength polycarbonate hubs - which are made from the same mold that creates our Hex Molded Spacers.
These aluminum box extrusions are robust and lightweight solutions for custom robot frames, superstructures and mechanism construction. Made to all of your favorite English sizes, the classic 2x1 thin wall tubing is now joined by its thicker-walled counterpart. We have also introduced two thicknesses of 1x1 sizes that teams know and love to build their medium-sized mechanisms.
For smaller mechanisms, we recommend using our 5/8 square box tube that is also compatible with our S3 line of brackets and gussets.
Available Sizes:
Be sure to all check out our Gussets as they work wonderfully with all of these wonderful extrusions.

The MK ES17-12, 12 Volt, 18 amp-hour sealed lead acid battery with nut and bolt connector has proven to be a trustworthy power source for many FIRST Robotics Competition robots.
The batteries will be packed within a 7"x7"x7" box (aka: interior box). A 3/4" layer of closed-cell foam will be packed around the interior box, within a 9"x9"x9" box. The entire weight of this double box packing assembly will be approximately 29 pounds.
Two (2) batteries are shipped within one box for this price.
