Go to Post Belts are a fine way of transferring power in a robot. Like chains, gears, drive shafts, viscous couplings or any other means of transmission they require some care and attention on you're part. But no one said this robot stuff was going to be a cake walk. - Andy A. [more]

Voltage regulator for servo controller
Is it legal to use a voltage regulator like this: http://www.pololu.com/product/2577 to regulate the input voltage to a HiTechnic Servo Controller?

Re: Voltage regulator for servo controller
Are you asking with regards to FTC or FRC?

Re: Voltage regulator for servo controller
Welcome to Chief Delphi!

In regards to FRC... I'm not sure why you'd need to use a 5VDC regulator, but...

(per R40)

Quote:
Any active electrical item not explicitly listed in R29 or R67 is considered a CUSTOM CIRCUIT. CUSTOM CIRCUITS may not produce voltages exceeding 24V when referenced to the negative terminal of the battery.
If you are asking this in regards to FTC, I'd recommend posting this in the FTC forum. Just something to keep in mind in the future. You did nothing wrong.
