Power your Classmate PC with this cable

After reading about the extensive problems with teams' Classmate PC's dying, and anticipating a greater problem as the season goes on, I have developed a simple solution that I am happy to make available to all teams who wish to purchase it. Pictured below, this cable plugs into a standard FRC robot battery, and provides a fused cigarrette-lighter socket to plug a power inverter into. This adapter cable can be used with an inverter to re-charge the Classmate PC when an outlet is not available (such as in the pre-match lineup). It is also quite useful for scouting teams in the stands, and outdoor demonstrations.

Purchasing will be handled through RobotWires.com. Orders placed today, and tomorrow should arrive in time for teams competing at Week 4 events.
