Go to Post I am sad that the Patriots lost, and I am happy for both teams that won...but I am even more thrilled that for the next two weeks robot building in the midwest comes to a standstill. ;) - Jessica Boucher [more]

Re: Where to connect the backup battery charger

It's a custom circuit. It has to be powered from a 20A circuit breaker.

To address the problem with back-feeding the rest of the robot, just add another 1N5820TR diode in series with the power input. You might still see a small issue with the backup battery draining (slowly) through the charger circuit itself when the robot is powered off, but it will no longer try to run all the Victors.
