Does anybody know where I could buy some of the same type connectors vex is using? I would like to add some accessories to the bot on the available 5v outputs.
Here are the connectors I use. They are not keyed, so it is possible to plug the connector in backwards if you are not careful, but they work great. You have to buy the connector shell and the pins separately. It is also a good idea to buy the crimping tool to crimp the pins to the wires.
