Hello, Lyon here just asking how can I make a mass battery charger. I saw in Robo source that they sell these brief cases that also hold batteries to charge. Vex men also have this giant wall of chargers (I like to call it “the Great Wall of chargers” very original I know) That looked pretty cool and I wanted to do something similar. One of the larger gripes I have is the space inefficiencies with these vex chargers. I can’t put two together and their wide bodies makes it seem like it ate too much money. So I was thinking of having a centralized PSU that fits inside a tool box and has adequate ventilation. (Lifted bottom and well circulated air.) when researching solutions, things like a psu I found showed upwards of 480w so that means that I could charge 24 ish batteries( realistically probably just 5-10) the major problem however is rule
stating in its sub rule, “V5 Robot batteries may only be charged by the V5 Robot Battery Charger
So then my second thought was, why not buy vex battery charger then snip off the fat PSU and wire it directly to the other psu I found. Would that be legal?
I know this is a lot for a first post, but I’m also planning for this to be my senior project because as my captain said, “vex is life” ( he lost a cumulative of 100+ hours due to the fact that he stays up until 1 trying to get the auton working for once. Slowly going insane with every try.)
