DO NOT DO THIS. First, don't put 2 Anderson connectors on your robot. The second one only introduces a perfect place for a short during the match. Second, the battery chargers we have in the KoP are designed to charge batteries, not power robots. They can only put out 6A max, which isn't enough to drive your robot around (40-60A would be more appropriate for running a robot, but even that isn't enough when you start talking about stalling CIM motors). They also don't put out a straight 12V - in order to charge a 12V battery, it needs to put out more than 12V... Having 14 or 16V going into the robot might damage something.

Also, please consider the possible safety implications of running a robot off an extension cord. How do you manage that cord across a practice field? What happens if the cord gets caught in a moving mechanism and is crushed/cut? The risk of electrocution or other serious, damaging accidents is much greater. Do you want to be the one to explain to a dozen other teams why their pits suddenly lost power at competition? Do you want to have to explain to the rest of your team why the expensive electronics on the robot are burned out from a sudden 120V short?
