Because of my clumsiness, I lose my team’s power supply to the control board…
Anyone have the specification of that power supply so I can go buy one? (? v, ac in dc?)

You may also want to know that the center is the positive terminal.
I also have one on my desk, except mine is a replacement for one that we lost.
Hope this helps,

loosing and damaging this important part is common and I recomend every one to carry a spare as well as the cable that conects the control system to the bot for when your in the pit area. It happened to us…

The AC adapters for the Operator Interface can be bought from http://www.innovationfirst.com for $18. You might also want to consider that Innovation First says that the use of an adapter other than the one they sell will void the warranty on your Operator Interface. Also, if you want the part number, it’s in the 2000 Control Systems Manual (at innovationfirst.com as well.) Good luck getting your new one.

Head down to your local electronics store (bring your controllers) and find the right size 9V adapter.
We’ve lost ours before too; our store bought adapter works just as well.
