HELP! I have 2 problems. First, I need the little input power black piece, ours is missing. Second, another team at our last competition decided it was a good idea to hot glue all the wires attached to the ports. We can no longer use ports 1-5. Can the robot function with just the last couple of ports? Thanks.

Hi, Futureseekers, thanks for posting on the forums.

I'm Matthew with NI.

You can purchase replacement power terminals from AndyMark: https://www.andymark.com/products/roborio-power-phoenix-push-in-spring-connector?via=Z2lkOi8vYW5keW1...

On the second..., Yes the robot can function with only ports 6-8 if you only need that many motor (or if you use CAN). But I'm sending you a direct message on some alternatives.
