Re: Running PD Board from an outlet

For just powering the electronics, a small 12 volt power supply will work. I imagine you could dig one out of an old computer.

To survive a regional you are going to need lots of batteries and an extra charger. So buying that now would be a good idea. If you are not running motors or running them lightly loaded, the robot battery lasts a long time.
