Re: 110V AC to 12V DC suggestion

We had a similar situation last year. We borrowed a Tripp-Lite PR-60 power supply from my company. We connected it directly to the robot in place of the battery when we were trying to dial in the shooter. I just looked up the PR60 and it costs new for about $282 from Tripp-Lite (http://www.tripplite.com/en/products...txtModelID=244). If you do not need 60 amps, they have smaller power supplies.
