Removable link mount

[webby]

Good to see the interest, I am buying the plastic and laser cutting next week and I will post in the for sale section

All connectors in robots are likely to come loose... ive lost fights in the past because ec5's have come loose, and deans, and andersons etc etc.... i put a cable tie around them all now, not had a problem since... and bullet connectors on brushless motors i put some tape around.

The answer to the link poping out is having a link door that pushes on the "loop" of wire on the link... so it physically cant pop out without the door coming off...

Ran BitzaWood the same way (with a deans) and never lost a link. Plus it's one less hole for an axe to get into.

I went the other way with boner this year. I cable tied the wire running to the link and had it sitting loose (to a certain extent) inside the bot. Therefore the whole connection could move during hits. Didn't have any link issues this year.

youd have more of a market for ec5 mounts anyhow.... robochallege already sell deans mounts, or you can buy flash ali ones online

i havent seen an ec5 mount for sale

Dam those are nice!

Nice, but 4x the price and in the US

[typhoon_driver]

so back to the main point, make em for EC5s and you will have more interest. Deans are going the way of the small anderson connectors

And yes, due to interest I have started designs for and ec5 connector
