This 12V flexible color-changing LED strip is perfect for robot lighting whether it's for fun or feedback. When used with an RGB controller (sold separately) one can control the color output including solid colors (red, green, blue, etc.) gradient fading, and blinking. This strip is not individually addressable, but it is 12V which means there is no need for a 12V to 5V converter. We recomend PowerPoles for connecting this LED strip to your controller. If you want PowerPoles and contacts included, check out am-3543.

There are 60 RGB LEDs per meter, and you can control each LED individually! You can set the color of each LED's red, green and blue component with 8-bit PWM precision (24-bit color per pixel). 

The LEDs are controlled by shift-registers that are chained up down the strip so you can shorten or lengthen the strip. Only 1 digital output pin are required to send data down. The PWM is built into each LED-chip so once you set the color you can stop talking to the strip and it will continue to PWM all the LEDs for you

It comes as a full 8.2ft (2.5m) strip and can be separated at each junction between LEDs for customization. Add in a couple connectors and you can separate sections and still control them all together.

The NI roboRIO 2.0 is new for the 2022 FIRST Robotics Competition. The most up to date information, and technical specifics, will be published by NI when they become available. For more roboRIO support for FIRST Robotics Competition teams, visit ni.com/frc

This device is designed specifically with FIRST in mind. The announcement of the roboRIO 2.0 on the FIRST Robotics Competition Blog, discusses all the new features to expect.

Sauro CTF020V8 connector, to be used as the power connector with  the roboRIO

This product is shipped in kit form. When assembled, this cable is mounted on a mobile robot and provides the complete solution for transferring voltage and current from a robot's battery to the Power Distribution board. The tip-to-tip length is approximately 20 inches. 

Both end connectors of each cable are crimped with a 6-ton crimping tool. 

Specifications:

• Weight: 0.7 pounds
• Length: Approximately 20 inches
• Connector Type: Anderson Power Parts Connector
• 120 Amp Circuit Breaker
• Guage: 6

Included Hardware:

• One - Robot Power Cable with Red @ ~11" and Black @ ~18"
• One - Robot Power Cable, Red @ ~5"
• One - 120 Amp Circuit Breaker

Everyone's Robot is different, this lets you customize the wire gauge, jacket type and lengths of your Robot Side Power Cable designed to connect a Power Distribution Panel mounted on your robot to a battery via a battery cable (6AWG, 6AWG Custom, or 4AWG), It includes a 120A Breaker.(depending on availability it might be am-0282 or am-0282a)

PLEASE CONTACT US FOR A QUOTE ON CUSTOM CABLES

All wire connections are crimped with a 6-ton pneumatic crimping tool to ensure they are never the failure point.

How to Customize:

1. Select your Cable Gauge, Type, and SB Connector

• 6 AWG PVC Jacket with SB50
• 6 AWG Flex EPDM Jacket with SB50
• 4 AWG Flex EPDM Jacket with SB120

2. Select the overall cable length, which does not included the SB Connector

(12 inches to 36 inches in 2 inch increments)

3. Select the length between the SB Connector and the 120A Breaker on the red wire side.

(5 in to 29 in - available in 2 inch increments)

4. The length of the individual red cable will be calculated automatically to make the ring terminal connections the same distance from the APP.

Note: Lengths are +/- 0.5 in.

Competition Tip: Remember, as the cable length increases, so does the internal resistance of the overall system. This creates a voltage drop that means less power going to your motors and control system. For best results, you'll want to keep this cable as short as your design allows safely.

Used to make the perfect termination when connecting wires without crimping, heat shrink solder sleeves use 3 materials (solder, heat shrink, glue adhesive) to provide maximum pull-out strength, excellent conductivity and helps prevent corrosion. Easy to install with just the use of a heat gun (must have enough heat to melt the solder), simply overlap the exposed ends of the wires and center the solder preform of the shield solder sleeve over the center conductors.
