Re: Handheld Motor Tester
I love these!

841's students just made one today off the 1939 video from 2012 that uses loose Anderson powerpoles instead of the screw terminals (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3q4nHCzSer0)

When I was on 192, we actually did use the original nicad drill batteries in ours - the power limited prototypes were then guaranteed to work when they were on the robot. I think I saw a post from Seth earlier this summer saying that's still the standard operating procedure over there..

GeeTwo: We did *exactly* that for testing drivetrain modules on prototype chassis when i was on 192, with "extension cords" made of a twisted pair with Anderson connectors for the operators to keep some distance.
