I started this question about a month ago. People here were very helpful on steps to getting started.
I have finally gotten a response from the teacher about the power source.
Here it is....
Quote:
The power source is a car battery charger. We bought ours at either O'Reilly
auto parts or Auto Zone auto parts. I think they are about $25.00 . There are
different brands. Ours is SE Series Schumacher (SE-82-6). It says 6 amp
medium charge / 2 amp slow charge on it. We cut the clamps off and connect the
female plug to it using electrical tape. The plug on the power source is like
a car cigarrette lighter plug (they may have these at the auto store but I know
they have them at Radio Shack ) and the end attached to the tethered vehicle is
the male part (like the end of a cell phone charger) that plugs into the power
source.
We have told the kids that they can come in any time to use our power source
and/or practice track. We will have another workshop after the holidays but do
not have a date set yet. I will announce it at least a week ahead of time and
it will be on my board, as well. There is a late bus that leaves at 5:00 that
Allison could ride home if she needs to.
Hope this information helps. Have a safe and happy holiday.

Is this enough information to get going with?
Thanks for your help.
