What Ac/ Dc Adapter Should I Use

I just have a quick question. What kind of AC/DC adapter should I use? I just want to be sure not to break anything. Right now I am just working off of battery which dies off quickly some times. Thanks!

Depends what robot your ezb4 is in.... If you are powering many servos you will need at least a 6V or 7.4V 20 amp power supply....

Ah well I'm feeling peckish and need some much desired grease from working till 5 am last night - so I'm in the drive through at Wendy's getting a baconator! Did you know they come in 3 patty options?! Heart attack!

Lol thanks Dj. Here's what the robot looks like:

He has 1 camera, and 3 HD servos. I read not to go past 12 volts, or below 2 volts. Any recommendations? This is my first robot ever.:)

What servos are you using? Hitecs like 6V... EZ Robot servos are good with 7.4v.... Do not use 12V or your Bear may experience the magical blue smoke...:P

BTW... The ezb4 itself is good from about 5V to 16V, but servos are generally good around 6V to 7.4V....
