Re: AC Adaptor?

I won't say it can't be done, but I can tell you that you're talking about a HUGE AC/DC converter, and it's going to be very expensive.

For instance, if you want a DC power source of 10 amps, you'll pay ~$60 at radio shack. 20 amps is ~$100.

If you're running two motors for an arm at 15 amps each, 4 sim motors at 20 amps each, a compressor at (I don't know how many)....

You're talking hundreds of amps.
