AC Adaptor?

[Rapt0r9]

Well, if you were to create a rectifying circuit to invert the AC to DC, you would need quite a bit of power from the AC line if you are going to run the entire bot off the line.

If you can find components rated for the current that you are going to draw, you can build a simple inverter using a transformer, rectifier (Diode Bridge), capacitor, and voltage regulator. The last two aren't absolutly nessecary, but they help to even the output voltage of the rectifier.

Personally, we use a car battery with a set of jumper cables to run motors before we wire the whole thing. This is convienient because we can just raise or lower the screw mech with out needing to install victors, an rc, breakers, and wire the it all.
