BRAND NEW NEXT-GENERATION SENSOR NOW AVAILABLE - leveraging new sensors and state-of-the-art algorithms to deliver a leap forward in accuracy and performance.

“Generation 2” navX2-MXP is a drop-in replacement for “Classic” navX-MXP, adding significant performance enhancements. See the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for more information about navX2-MXP's new and enhanced capabilities.

navX2 MXP 4.1

Key specifications include:

• 9-Axis Inertial/Magnetic Sensor (Gyro / Accelerometer / Magnetometer)
• Intelligent Motion Processor
• RoboRIO Expansion I/O
• Check out all the features

Many capabilities:

• Field-oriented drive, auto-balancing, collision detection, motion detection, auto-rotate-to-angle, linear velocity vectors and more…
• 10 Digital I/Os, 4 Analog Inputs, 2 Analog Outputs, and TTL UART / I2C / SPI ports.
• Easily installed via RoboRIO’s MXP Expansion connector or USB port.
• C++, Java and LabView libraries and sample application code simplify integration.
• Existing navX-MXP users can upgrade easily.
• Free software libraries & example code are available for easy integration and use.

What's New and Improved in navX2-MXP

• Significantly improved yaw accuracy and stability, even during Extreme inertial events. navX2-MXP features very high-accuracy orientation (yaw/pitch/roll), with minimal yaw drift of ~0.5 degree per minute when moving, and < 0.2 degrees/hour when still. navX2-MXP is incredibly stable, and averages a yaw drift of only 2 degrees per DAY when still. navX2-MXP's new Industrial-class ISM330DHCX IMU sensor handles high rotation (4000 degree/second) and impact (16G, operates in higher temperature environments and can survive extreme shock events (20,000G).
• Rapid (5-second) auto-calibrating startup.
• navX2-MXP features an upgraded 180Mhz 32-bit floating-point ARM processor, the new sensors, and new state-of-the-art software algorithms which take navX technology to the next level, including a blazing-fast 416-Khz Kalman Filter, enhanced sensor calibration and algorithms which fuse gyro, accelerometer and magnetometer data into a “9-axis heading”.
• As a result of these upgrades, the accuracy of Velocity Vector Measurements and Displacement Estimates is also improved.

More technical details are available in the navX2 MXP technical specifications and there's even more information at navX2-MXP Online.

These adapters are intended to be a high strength solution to adapt the Falcon Spline to any product that has a 1/2 in hex bore. This product includes the correct size washers to retain items along the hex shaft, as well as a thread-patch 8-32 screw to be used in conjunction with spacers included with the Falcon 500 motor to retain motion hardware.

The AndyMark Climber in a Box is a robust, lightweight, configurable and affordable solution for climbing challenges historically present in FRC end game periods. The design of Climber in a Box has been inspired by many team designs along the way including 254 and 2056. The final prototype for this climber was developed in partnership with FRC Team 3940 CyberTooth for the 2020/2021 Infinite Recharge season. This mechanism has been battle tested with hundreds of climbs on a full weight FRC Robot without failures, both in development and real match play. Available in single and two stage configurations, this product should help teams of all levels elevate their team's performance at competitions.

This product uses a "spring out, winch back" powertrain strategy, using off-the-shelf 3.5lb constant force springs to raise the included Hook Kit, and 3mm Dyneema Rope to retract it with the included Winch Kit. Simply unspool the included rope using a planetary gearbox to raise the hook(s), drive the robot up to the bar, and winch it back to elevate your robot. The AndyMark Climber in a Box does not include a motor or gearbox, but is compatible with many off-the-shelf planetary gearboxes on the market that have a 2" bolt circle mounting pattern and support a 2" long 1/2" hex output shaft, including the highly durable blue Sport Gearboxes.

The bearing kits within this product are designed to go from 2" square 1/16" wall aluminum tubing, down to a 1" square 1/16" wall tube, with a 1.5" square 1/16" wall tube in between for the 2 stage flavor of this product. A combination of durable 608 bearings and custom molded plastic components provide the bearing surfaces for a free-flowing telescoping tube mechanism with no 3D printed parts. Each stage has a maximum travel of 24.5."

The AndyMark Climber in a Box is an unassembled kit of everything you need (besides a gearmotor) that is designed to not require any precision machining in order to make your FRC robot climb. The plates included within the Hook Kit, Bearing Kits and Winch Kit are all designed to be assembled and used as drill guides for match drilling their mounting locations onto the aluminum tubes. Each tube is pre-cut to a 30" length so no cutting of the tubes is required to achieve maximum travel.

This upgrade kit for the AM14U4 is to make it easy to add up to four Falcon 500 motors to the Toughbox Mini, or Toughbox Micro gearboxes in your AM14U4 chassis. We've also included the correctly sized hardware to retain the motor into the gearbox without damaging the internal rotor, as well as the right screw to retain the 14T spline bore gear on the Falcon 500's spline shaft.

Note: This upgrade kit is specifically for Toughbox series gearboxes with a 14T-50T 20DP first stage. It is not compatible with the EVO family of gearboxes. This upgrade kit does not include the Falcon 500 motors.

Each CONE (am-4700_syc) is a yellow 1 ft. ¹³⁄₁₆ in. (~33 cm) tall rubber marker cone and weighs 1lb 7oz (~653 g). Each CONE has an 8⅜ in. (~21 cm) +/- ⅛in. (~3 mm) square base with ¼ in. (~7 mm) tall feet.

Each CUBE (am-4700_bpc) is made of purple PVC fabric and is marked with a FIRST logo. The CUBE is a cube-like shape, inflated to 9 ½ in. (~24 cm) +/- ¼ in. (~6 mm) as measured from face to face, but these ship deflated. A CUBE has rounded corners, may not have flat surfaces, and the length, width, and height of the sides may not be equal dimensions. A CUBE weighs 2.5 oz (~71 g). 

The Cube Measurement Jig (am-4700_cmj) is a tool developed by FIRST to calibrate CUBE inflation at events. The appropriate range for CUBE inflation is between when the cube can lift the jig off the ground due to it's inflation, and when the cube touches both sides of the jig at the same time. The total weight of the jig is important in determining the minimum bound.

This kit is a part of the 2024 Everybot by Team 118. Designed to intake rings with ease, this simple kit can help any team create a more competitive robot. 

AndyMark is happy to be working with Team 118 and their incredible Everybot team to make this intake available to all teams. The Everybot is an affordable, competitive, and elegant robot that can be created from accessible materials and tools. We are honored to be working directly on the Everybot project as we have admired the ambition and the team behind it since its beginning.

Note: This kit comes with a steel rod to support the Note in the intake. AndyMark recommends covering the rod in a high visibility material (tape, paint, etc.) to aid in alignment and prevent surface rusting.

This kit is equivalent to the FRC Kit of Parts KitBot. In conjunction with an AM14U5 drive train, and two additional motor controllers, these items can create a robot that can play some aspects of CRESCENDO℠. It’s also been designed so teams can build the KitBot and then further iterate on it to add additional features if they choose. Teams will still need basic power tools (drills, saws, etc.) in order to build this robot. 

The options here are configured per what teams can opt in or out of in the KOP. KitBot documentation will be available to all teams, and many of the items from the Black Tote that are used to build the KitBot are components that Veteran teams likely already have on hand or can easily replicate. 

NOTE: While the Black Tote does include two motor controllers we opted to not include them in either of our bundles due to the high cost, and high likelihood that teams will have extra brushed speed controllers available to use. 

Resources that will be made available by FIRST include:

• Build instructions for the KitBot with photos
• Basic code to operate the KitBot as designed in LabVIEW, Java, C++, and Python
  • Software guide for each language exploring the code and possible controls modifications
• CAD drawings of the KitBot
• A guide to describe the process of adding or improving the functionality of the KitBot
• Assembly Videos
