 * Light blocking: a photointerupter, detects when something passes through the small slit. Can be used to tell when a lid is closed, for example.

-The Grab Box includes at least 20 pieces of C channel with holes punched every 1/2 inch. This is great for prototyping robotics projects since all the holes give you lots of mount points.

 They are made of anodized aluminum and may be natural color (aluminum, silvery) or several other colors (red, blue, orange, green).
-These parts work well with a set of 3d printed brackets we have created. These brackets are 3d printable and free for printing. Just go to Thingiverse.com and search for "Vorpal Brackets". There are things like corner brackets, gussets, servo mounts, battery holders, and even Arduino mounts. By sliding these into the channel and using one or two screws (M3 or #6-32 are good sizes for the holes) you can quickly put together robotic or other structures for prototyping.

 After identifying a sensor or other component, you can easily find information about how to use it by doing a web search or two. Sometimes you can even find a full blown tutorial on how to use the sensor. NOTE: You will have a subset of about 10 of these (or other) sensors in your grab box, not all of them.
