Command CenterDIY Products
If you are feeling handy and wish to create your own Command Center using one or more of the modular kits, you are in luck! COBRA offers access to individual parts, kits and everything needed to build your dream DIY setup.
On this page you will find kits, and individual parts, and the associated schematics.
Command Center DIY Kits
For ease of purchase, all Command Center components can be purchased in optional kits depending on the level of functionality in your DIY build. If you purchased every kit, you could build a complete command center. We have also noted the products included in each kit along with a full Command Center PDF Schematic.
Saving money or geeking out / creating a custom application?
If you are looking to build an entire Command Center by purchasing all kits and assembling from scratch to save money, please note that sum of all kits is higher than purchasing the pre-assembled Command Center. This is due to the higher stocking requirement costs, documentation, and overall support for a DIY model. The purpose of the DIY kit is to truly support the individual who loves to tinker and enjoys building something special for themselves from scratch.
Modular design, but may need some love for your application.
Each kit and associated part was designed specifically for the COBRA Command Center. When creating your own custom design, you may use some, or all of the parts combined with your own custom setup and associated hardware to create your own design. For example, we may provide a mounting bracket whose screws may be too short or long based on your application. By substituting these screws on your own, you can adapt the kit to your own application.Finally! The Command Center Kits.
