Affordable and durable 3 inch squish wheels are now available. These wheels are commonly used by competitive robotics teams to move game pieces throughout their robot.
These wheels ship in packs of 4 for $7.50 per wheel and feature -
30A durometer TPE rubber material for maximum squishability
Molded over polycarbonate half inch hex center to ensure the center of the wheel does not strip out over time.
1 inch thick. Good for applications running 1500-3000 RPM. Not good for direct driving in flywheel higher RPM applications.

The Thrifty Absolute Magnetic Encoder was designed to provide teams a lower cost option for absolute position sensing. Simply plug the included 3-wire PWM style cable into your controller of choice and read the included magnet's absolute position. This device can connect directly to the RoboRIO as well as the REV Spark Max or CTRE Talon SRX.
Encoder Revision Updates Include -
Switched to through hole connector to improve strength and assembly
Cases are produced in ESD safe materials
A J2 jumper spot has been added. Simply solder the jumper spot and the encoder will run in 3.3v mode. See the user guide for more details.
The Grasshopper nut, produced with the help of James Cole-Henry from FRC team 95, The Grasshoppers, is an innovative battery solution to increase the reliability of battery terminal connections.
