Inexpensive, 10BaseT slip ring
Inexpensive, 10BaseT slip ring
(OP)
I'm working with an amazing group of high school students on robotics projects. Currently developing a teleoperated search and rescue robot for RoboCup in Japan. We've chosen to avoid wireless (too much interference). We're designing an inexpensive 10BaseT ethernet cable reel for placement on the robot. We need a reliable, inexpensive way to get the signal off the robot and onto the reel. Looking at hole-through-the-middle slip ring, but are open to other options. Your suggestions? THANKS!

Litton Aerospace also makes some high-end instrumentation grade slip rings, but they will be $$$$.
Also: Electro-Tec, and UEA (www.uea-inc.com)
I know that UEA has some great hollow-center sets (you can specify the grade and quantity of contacts you want), but you're dealing with silver-graphite brushes, which are "borderline" acceptable (my opinion--many others think this is fine) for high-grade signals.
UEA: BRENT JENSEN +1 (800) 394-9986
Electro-Tec: Burke Kidd (800) 382-5366
Hope this helps.
