Re: Powering Robot Controller without breaker panel, etc.

Matt's using Vex servos and they only have 3-wires.

The extra (orange) wire on the Edu servo is a second power line.
To hook it up to the regular FRC controller you need to construct an adaptor cable to go from 4-pins to a 3-pin connector and a second connector that just uses the power from another 3-pin connection. See the Edu-RC-2004_Ref_Guide document.pdf
