The CIMCoder 256 is a high resolution version of the CIMcoder we've all come to love. This encoder mounts directly to the drive side of a CIM motor. It has a 10 pin connecter making it compatible with The Talon SRX speed controller for closed loop control. Built in LED indicate voltage and outputs. To interface with this encoder use cable am-2617.

This sharp-cornered 6061-T6 aluminum extrusion is a robust and lightweight solution for custom robot frames and mechanism construction. Specifications:
Do you have a hard time finding some strong hex stock aluminum? We have it! This is 7075 series aluminum, which is great for use in transmission shafts.
Specifications:
This encoder mounts to the nose of a CIM Motor and senses the rotations of the CIM Motor output shaft. A housing, mounted to the CIM Motor, protects the encoder circuitry while a collet spins with the motor output shaft. Pull up resistors are necessary to generate an output signal for the desired voltage level. The CIMCoder decreases the over CIM shaft length by 0.31".Encoder Pinout:
Included Hardware:
Used with:
Encoder cable, 36" long, with single pin connectors (am-2269)
This is an double solenoid, air-piloted, compact valve made by CKD. It's great for efficiently providing air to a small to medium sized actuator on mobile robots.
In order to make this work, you will also need three (3) M5 fittings (NOT INCLUDED) and some tubing (also NOT INCLUDED).

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.

These are all of our 9 mm wide 5 mm pitch HTD synchronous timing belt offerings. All of these belts are a composite of flexible rubber with a fiberglass tensile member throughout. Synchronous timing belts, also known as a toothed belt or synchronous belt, are designed to eliminate slippage and keep any number of objects rotating at a constant rate. We offer genuine Gates brand belts, AndyMark branded belts, as well as lower-cost generic brand belts.
Parts are organized by the following scheme: (Tooth Count - Trade Number - AndyMark part number)

Got a robot chassis and no control system to drive it? You need AndMark’s new U-Drive (Universal Drive control system). The U-Drive was developed to be used as a control system, as a teaching aid, or as a simple way to control demo 'bots.
This control system works with any of our chassis and wheel configurations (except Swerve and Steer), from the simple 2-wheel NaviGator Robot to a 4-wheel mecanum rover and anything in between. Add a battery and speed controller of your choice and install our U-Drive system and you will be driving in minutes. A simple web-based configuration tool lets you configure speed controller type, wheel configuration, and drive control from your phone or PC. Using the web tool allows users to control the robot via virtual joystick, and read battery telemetry and gyroscopic data.
Settings are saved and restored on power up. Settings can be easily cleared and reconfigured when moving to a new robot configuration type.
Note: This control system is not legal for any FIRST programs.
