Hey guys, are there any FingerTech products you would like Technobots to carry that they don't already?

Perhaps this new product, which I would like to introduce to you!
Blade Hubs

FingerTech's Blade Hub is the best way to attach a blade to a shaft. It uses a flange nut to hold the blade tightly, meaning you can use off-the-shelf sawblades without needing to drill screw holes into hardened steel! Custom blades can be made stronger by not having those same mounting screw holes.

• The stepped design allows use of blades with different bore sizes (10mm, 16mm (5/8in), and 20mm).
• A big 8-32 setscrew attaches the hub to the flat on your weapon shaft.
• The hub comes to a soft point so that your horizontal spinner robot can rest on it without being pulled in different directions.

Just got some of my first fingertech stuffs from technobots.

What I ordered

-Fingertech switch
-2.5" x .75" snap wheels
-1.75" x .5" snap wheels
-Delrin Mecanum wheel mount

Switch:

This I ordered out of curiosity and use in passive robots. I really like not having to precariously mount links and stuff. Sadly can't use it in any weaponed bots. This is a real pretty little piece of kit. Its so tiny! Nice and compact, good mounting holes and construction is good. I'll definitely use it on any non combat robots and would buy again for passive robots. £7 is an okayish price, not great but its not taking the poss.

Wheels

These really are great. Feel very nice and grippy and the price is fantastic. 10/10 would buy again and again when they get shredded :)

Mecanum wheel mount

I got these to use as a general purpose hub due to the very low price of just over a pound. Quality of these is kinda contrasting to the rest of the stuff. Its actually quite poor with some edges being rough and some holes not being deburred, but what can you really expect from the price. I can't complain too hard because they are cheap as hell and will be perfectly usable.

Overall I'm happy.
