Green light Case

Alright,
How do you power this thing?
while it out of the box, no problem, 12 volt power source, but when in the closed box?

i would make a terminal block on the inside of the box. then wire all of the CCs to that and then attach a length of wire from the terminal block to a battery or even better a 12v power supply (old computer power supply) also dont forget t add ventilation holes in the box.....the CCs and their transformers will get warm.

How many lights do you need to put in the box? We only have 4. The drawing shows putting 8 lights in it.

Some kid last year thought the lights were to make the robot look like a low rider.

We just velcro'd the CC's to a block of wood. Used a peice of black plastic (The 80/20 stuff) as the back, and used the wood as standoffs for the lights. Then I used standoffs (similar to those in your computer holding the motherboard, but longer) to hold the HDPE lens away from the CCs. It's pleanty bright, the camera sees it fine.
