MMM v3 BEC questions

[Dagger Thrasher]

I *think* Patrick once said that the MMM's BEC was good for up to 5A, but ran quite warm at that kind of drain. I could be remembering wrongly, though.

Looks like a cool project though! What are you planning to do with it?

I'm working on an off the shelf implementation of another project I (and about 20 of my friends) have worked on.

Orb Swarm is a network of 6 robotic orbs that communicate with each other and choreograph their own movement, music, and light show.

Each orb is about $6000 and MONTHS of work, not including the year and a half of software work...

...With this side project, I'm making swarmable robots accessible so we'll have more robots to swarm with.

I want to make it so any RC nerd unafraid of UNIX can make a swarmable robot out of any of their models, easily.

Imagine your local football field filled with 20 or more rc robots driving around in formation, blinking and chirping together.

Failing that, I'll at least have a software development platform for myself that roughly models the orbs because, at 80lbs and 30", they are a bit too large for my Corolla to haul.
