You will need four PWM cables to connect the radio to your robot controller.  We recommend that you order one 36 inch cable from IFI per kit and we can then split that into four separate cables for you.  You can add the cable onto your Robovation kit order to save on shipping.

We highly recommend that teams purchase 3 IR Photoreflectors and 2 IR Distance Sensors per kit. The autonomous portion of the game will be much easier if the robots have proper sensors.  The sensors listed below will require some modification to fit into the plugs on the robot controller.  We will be happy to help you with these issues.

The IR Photoreflectors will tell a robot how light or dark the color of an object is, and three are used to help the robots follow a line painted on the field.
