Re: External power for LED worklights?

Of course, the wiring would be in accordance with robot rules. Could the fuse be placed on the cart, thus simplifying the setup on the robot? Our cart this year is going to be a mobile pit station in itself, able to supply power for charging and tools.

We're also looking at finding a way to run the robot off the cart while it is in the pits so that we can cut down on the wear of our batteries (and because some years, changing batteries can be a pain). If we had another main breaker on our cart, identical to the one found on the robot, would that be legal?

Basically, if we wish to provide power from a source other than the robot while it is in the pits, if we duplicate all required elements (fuses, breakers, etc.), but leave them on the cart and simply have easy-access plugs running into the robot, would that be legal?
