Re: 110V AC to 12V DC suggestion

Our team did something like this to tune our shooter motors. We used a Tripp-Lite PR-60 power supply I borrowed from work. We connected it directly to the robot in place of the regular battery. We were only running the shooter motors (had the robot up on blocks to prevent any moving) and it worked great.

A new from the manufacturer PR-60 is about $280.

If you do not need a 60 amp supply they have a 10 amp for about $80.
