Re: Separate Powered Flashlights?

This is one of those times where the ever important quote about robot design comes it. Never build your robot around a loop hole. There is no way to justify a flashlight as a COTS computing device. Flashlights draw so little current anyway so I don't really see why you would want/need to power it without using the robot power. Also, I assume that this is for vision so may I recommend these? They are ring lights. they come in 7 colors and 4 sizes and are very bright so they should suit most vision needs.
