From the description
This product does not support any fast charging protocols.
This would suggest no

It has to have those to work with any USB-C power supply, not just fancy ones.
The two 5.1K resisters are actually not for fast charging, just for simple 5V 500mA max, and pretty much the minimum for a somewhat compliant device when powering via USB-C.
If using a USB-A to USB-C cable, it will work without the resistors (or like a Raspberry Pi USB-C power supply), but if it’s a USB-C to USB-C cable to a laptop or power bank, omitting the resistors will result in no power, same with proper USB-C power supplies.
CyberBrick components are now available for purchase individually from Maker’s Supply (at least in the US store) and this includes a couple of new components that were not part of the Kickstarter Kits:
This servo extension cable also comes in a Y type so that you can split a single signal to two servos.
Similar to the previous, this board seems to let you split an SH1.0 signal to two devices. Since the receiver boards have two SH1.0 outputs, in theory this would allow for them to drive additional motors (albeit with the same input configuration)

What are the chances of 35kg 360° servo showing up in the store? Looking to build something that needs high torque and would be cool if stuff like this could be sourced from Maker’s supply

oooh, thanks for the heads up on kits finally being in stock. 
Only thing sold out/wasn’t stocked at this time was the recharge cable.
This is used in the RC Crab. Four motors, two controls, requires two splitters.

This isn’t so much a part but a new general item: LiPo Battery Fireproof Storage Bag

I’m not 100% sure if these two are new listings but I don’t remember seeing them before:

Did anyone order a mystery box? I was going to but I have enough tea lights and outboard motors.

Although this may not be a new component, I have not previously seen the 300mm SH1.0 wires in stock for purchase (at least in the US store)

It isn’t new for the U.K. at least as I have bought them already.
I saw a new entry for this and got excited that there was something new and shiny.

A CyberBrick bundle, not to be confused with a new product itself.
An opportunity to provide a rechargeable solution was a swing and a miss.
You still cannot recharge a battery by easily removing the battery or having an external charging port that doesn’t require a cable being disconnected.
Shame.
Yes, I have asked.

From the product description: “Contains the two essential screwdrivers required to assemble and work on your CyberBrick creations, especially the servos and other core components.”
Yet again, not available in the U.K., when the hell will they stop being a dick to the U.K.?
The question has to be, are they ignorant or incompetent?
Neither answer is good. But, they certainly are not competent based on the continual failure to provide basic stock for those living in the U.K.
So annoying.
I assume because of the little Philips screw that is used to secure the arm on the servo.
I’ve been using Bambu’s m2 self tapping screws for securing stuff to the servos, and that seems to be working well. Get out of here Philips! You’re so 1930s.
I bet this bundle was in response to the poor reception of using AAA batteries with the remote. I hope they’re working on getting something together so we can charge the battery without removing it though.

Did you see this?
This is the sort of solution that should already be available.
