Arduino with Vex motor

Controller seems to take an absolute maximum supply voltage 8.5V, normally a 7.2V
NiMH pack or 2S LiPo is assumed. Its rated at 3A stall, so presumably the motor needs
an amp or so to function. Presumably 6V wlll work for it, but 9V is not advised. What current
can your supply(s) produce? Is it enough?
