Hello all, I'll just briefly restate my earlier questions for ease of
responding:
1. Why are we encouraged not to use big adapters (>1A) for the HB? Is
it because of the charging circuit, or does it fry the board?
2. Can I plug a big adapter into the charging board, set it to Zap mode,
and just use it to drive my tethered robot instead of batteries?
(i.e. remove the batteries entirely)
Cheers, Skye.

(...) no, because you can't send that much current down the RJ11 cable. unless your robot draws (...) (26 years ago, 14-Apr-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
