 Extension Cables for NXT servo motorsWe need to extend the cables for interfacing to the NXT servos.
What connectors are available and acceptable? Also, where can they be obtained? |

Re: Extension Cables for NXT servo motors You can buy cables from Mindsensors and HiTechnic:

Re: Extension Cables for NXT servo motors I did an experiment with extending cables using CAT5 a while back, here's what I found: http://www.g7smy.co.uk/?lego/extentions

Re: Extension Cables for NXT servo motors Thank you Karl:
Is this an acceptable procedure for a FTC competition? |

Re: Extension Cables for NXT servo motors I don't know. Examine the FTC rules, if they don't say anything about it then I'd be mischievous and say yes, then argue pedantically if someone makes a fuss.
