If you want to power the robot motors you need something with a big transformer that can supply the amps.

Yeah it worked fine for free spin but I'm not trying it while mounted to anything. I think ultimately I'm going to use this to power our test board that we use for programming and sensors. Not a bad use since it's a pain to switch out batteries for a couple sensors, especially because people keep mischarging them.
I've been playing with AC to DC converters a bunch lately, first running our light target and now for the test board... It's just easier then lugging batteries and chargers.
I'll admit that the events at Epcot were pretty nice, but they too had their problems. . . You were at the mercy of the weather, and Disney hasn't figured out how to control that yet. - Kevin Sevcik [more]
