Limited & Standard Components

There are set of standard and limited components during the competition. Everyone will get the standard components at the start of the competition. You are also given the opportunity to request limited components during the competition, however there is no guarantee that all limited components are available.
Standard and Limited Components are required to be returned at the conclusion of the event.

Limited Components

The components listed below are limited. You do not need to pay for these components as long as they are returned undamaged.
We will not allow teams to request excessive quantities of components; limits apply per team.

Documentation + Photos + Arduino Libraries:

Soil Resistance Measurer

Arduino library : N/A
Notes : Analogue read the AO (AnalogOut) pin. DO (DigitalOut) compares vs the potentiometer voltage

IMU (MPU-6050) - Accelerometer + Gyro

Arduino library : https://playground.arduino.cc/Main/MPU-6050
Notes : This is 3.3v component. See Level shifting tutorial. Needs 10k pullup resistors on the I2C lines. Read the page very carefully.
