Re: AC Adaptor?
Yeah.... This whole thing doesn't sound to promising...
Sure, the battery might be rated at supplying so many amps, but when a motor turns on, it spikes way more than this. That's why the 'motorcycle' batteries that we use are so convenient; They can handle the high current spikes. I just don't think a AC-DC converter can handle this... Now maybe a system where its an AC-DC converter with a battery to handle the high current spikes... Kinda like the IFI 7.2v charging circuit, where the input voltage and the battery are used (but perhaps a better designed circuit... If we could only put in the one diode to prevent the battery from backcharging the robot... [/OffTopicRant]...)
Just some off-the-top-of-the-head thoughts... I could be completely off-base.
