Re: To regulate or to buy a wierd battery, that is the question...

Does each engine have a generator that can be used to recharge the battery? if so then 24 watts being wasted probably isn't a big deal. Do the servos actually draw that much current when they're just holding a position, or is the rating for maximum power draw at maximum slew? Can you just use one 7805 or 7806 per servo?

again, trying to keep it simple....
