ABSTRACT
One of the major roadblocks in building robots is not knowing where to get parts. Sensors, motors, electronics, batteries, prototyping equipment, connectors, and tools all come from a variety of vendors. After years of tracking things down, we have compiled a database of suppliers we commonly turn to for interesting robot parts. After the alphabetical listing of suppliers, Section C .l, is a cross-reference list by component category, Section C.2. The best thing to do is start calling these companies, consulting their web pages, and collecting catalogs. Most suppliers will gladly send catalogs, free of charge.
