What type of battery are you using? We kinda need to know that to help you...absolutezerok3 wrote:I'm using a 6v power supply but I can't run more than one circuit off of it.

How can I get more juice out of this battery to power all the circuit I need without using additional batteries?
Thanks for everything

Re: Mission Possible C
Soooo I had an electrically powered action that failed and now one of the event supervisors is claiming that it was an electrically powered action that took longer that 10 seconds... anyone want to bullet point the arguments for me? I apparently have to explain myself to them second to last session even though I've given all my arguments....

Since the action failed, it did not affect the device in any way to contribute to points so you should get no penalty.Mission Possible Clarifications wrote: Any type of electrical or spring action that operates for more than 10 seconds and still controls part of the action would be a violation. If a light bulb, fan, etc. remained on but was no longer used or no longer affected the device in any way to contribute to points it could be allowed to stay on without penalty.

Re: Mission Possible C
Walked into discuss with event supervisor to be told that they decided that I should have the penalty and then proceded with my coaches to discuss rules and eventually convinced him... Worth the time though. (ended up getting first).antoine_ego wrote:ScottMaurer19 wrote:Soooo I had an electrically powered action that failed and now one of the event supervisors is claiming that it was an electrically powered action that took longer that 10 seconds... anyone want to bullet point the arguments for me?

Re: Mission Possible C
If I complete a circuit with water, and the circuit plays the audio recording "The End", does that count as two separate actions? (The End Action and the action of using water to complete a circuit)
Re: Mission Possible C
Yes, that should count as two actions, if the water event triggers the final task.akshay0824 wrote:If I complete a circuit with water, and the circuit plays the audio recording "The End", does that count as two separate actions? (The End Action and the action of using water to complete a circuit)
Re: Mission Possible C
Congratulations! I wanted to stop by and see your device but I was busy all day. How many successful tasks did you have to get first? Also, do you remember who got second since the scores aren't out? I got third and kind of stopped paying attention.ScottMaurer19 wrote: Walked into discuss with event supervisor to be told that they decided that I should have the penalty and then proceded with my coaches to discuss rules and eventually convinced him...

Re: Mission Possible C
That battery may not be the strongest, but may be able to work. We need more information - what are you trying to power and how do you have your tasks wired.absolutezerok3 wrote:data sheet: http://cdn.spectrumbrands.com/~/media/R ... 20941.ashxdavecutting wrote:What type of battery are you using?
