If you want to power the robot motors you need something with a big transformer that can supply the amps.

Yeah it worked fine for free spin but I'm not trying it while mounted to anything. I think ultimately I'm going to use this to power our test board that we use for programming and sensors. Not a bad use since it's a pain to switch out batteries for a couple sensors, especially because people keep mischarging them.
I've been playing with AC to DC converters a bunch lately, first running our light target and now for the test board... It's just easier then lugging batteries and chargers.
