Re: CIM Motors in a non-FRC environment

Problem is most wall warts are only capable of providing 1A or less of 12VDC. They'll burn up under the 133A stall load of a CIM.

EDIT: Thinking about it some more, the best way might be to include a battery of similar specifications to an FRC battery and a charging circuit.
