Wire

Wire is the stuff which allows the electrons to move around your robot. It's the stuff which, if you try to squeeze too many electrons down it too fast, it will heat up and produce smoke. It's the stuff which will break if you bend it too much.

It's a misunderstood little thing.

In my robots, there are really only three types of wire I concern myself with.

1) "heavy" flex

Rail Gear

Pack of 25 rack gears. Unfortunately it doesn't look like Rapid will ship outside of the UK and I really need some rack gears for the cap launcher. They allow a motor with a gear to make linear motion. I would also use a few in another project. Please post links if you see rack gears sold elsewhere.

You buy a little thing, give it a wire with a serial string. And somewhere else you have a similar setup. And there you go; What you write to one, comes out of the other. Any transmission of anything over air done extremely easy!
