Re: High Power LED's
Attached, is our schematic for our custom LED driver board circuit.
The relevant part is the capacitor stage.
Depending on your robot and light, anywhere above 4000 microfarads would suffice. Unless you put a diode into the circuit, the rest of the robot will also draw power from the capacitor bank, nearly defeating the entire purpose of the bank.
Since you are powering this via a spike, you can turn it into a custom circuit and still be legal.
