Rule R619
R619       *Do not mix and match power on or between power regulation devices. The following rules must be adhered to when using power on any power regulation device (per R505):
Rule R505
R505       *All actuators must be controlled and powered through approved devices. With the exception of servos, fans, or motors integral to sensors of COTS computing devices permitted in R501, all actuator control signals must originate from a power regulating device. The only power regulating devices for actuators permitted on the ROBOT are:
Rule R601
R601       *Battery limit – everyone has the same main ROBOT power. The only legal source of electrical energy for the ROBOT control system and actuation during the competition, the ROBOT battery, must be 1 and only 1 approved 12V NiMH main battery. The ROBOT main battery must have a COTS equivalent in-line 20A ATM mini blade fuse installed. Installed connectors may be replaced with other popular connectors such as Anderson Powerpole, XT30, or any connector with a comparable power rating. The only allowed ROBOT main power battery packs are:
Rule R617
R617       *Powered USB hubs must draw energy from approved sources. Powered USB hubs used on the ROBOT can only be powered through one of the following ways:
