Electronic Bundles Builder

 
Choose your processor, motor controllers, motors, and system components to create a complete electronics system to suit your needs. The only thing you'll need after configuring this Builder is a battery. For Mecanum chassis that you want to drive with a Radio Link controller you will need to purchase a Mecanum Mixer (am-2715b) to spin the wheels in the correct directions for translational motion. 

NOTE: Customers who are not affiliated with FIRST teams are required to purchase the NI roboRIO product through National Instruments, not AndyMark.

A Few Recommended Options:

• BCLS4CB - This bundle utilizes the RadioLink Controller and lower-price Spark motor controllers with the smaller ATC 8 Gang Fuse Block. This bundle is great for lighter duty robots for prototyping with no need for programming.
• BCRX4NP - This bundle utilizes the roboRIO with SparkMax controllers with the brushless power of the NEOs with the full function of the Power Distribution Panel. This bundle is awesome for FRC buildup and larger sized robots with power.
• BCFX4NP - This bundle is exactly like the one above, it's just without the roboRIO. This bundle is awesome for FRC buildup and larger sized robots with power where a roboRIO is already available.
  

Understanding Part Numbers:

Electronic bundles product numbers are built to identify components within the code. Below is the breakdown of how these part numbers are built.

• The first two positions identifies the product number:
  • BC - Bundle for Controls
• The third position identifies the controller and will come with components needed to hook it up (see link):
  • F - roboRIO READY (BYOr) - Bring Your Own roboRIO - this kit matches the roboRIO one exactly, it just doesn't have a roboRIO in it, so if you have your own, this is perfect for you.
  • L - RadioLink - a simplistic approach of a simple Radio Control with limited programming capability in the controller
  • N - No Processor - so you'll need to have your own controller.
  • R - roboRIO - the fully capable controller used within FIRST Robotics Challenge
• The fourth position identifies the motor controller and will come with the components needed to hook it up (see link):
  • X - SPARK Max - multiple possible inputs, able to control both brushed and brushless motors
  • S - SPARK - PWM controlled for brushed motors
  • T - Talon - PWM or CAN driven speed control for brushed motors with input options!
  • V - Victor SPX - PMW controller for bushed motors, each Victor SPX here comes with a Powerpole Kit (am-2198)
• The fifth position identifies the quantity of motors and will come with wires needed to hook them up:
  • 2 - Two Motors
  • 4 - Four Motors
• The sixth position identifies the type of motor:
  • C - CIM - a brushed motor with power
  • R - RedLine - a brushed motor to designed for speed and power both
  • N - NEO 1.1 - a brushless motor built to be a drop in replacement for the CIM
  • 5 - NEO 550 - a brushless motor for anywhere a 550 sized motor fits
• The seventh position identifies the type of power distribution and will come with components needed to hook them up (see links):
  • P - FRC Power Distribution Board - built for FRC with capabilities for large size robots
  • B - ATC 8 Gang Fuse Block - lightweight single input terminal for simple power distribution
  • 3 - PP45 Power Board - simple and compact power distribution with PP45 secure connections
