[Help] Unsure on what power supply to use / what configuration

Projects General Guidance

Hi, I'm trying to run multiple, high-power motors using an arduino as a control. However, I am new to using arduino and circuitry in general and need tips on how to supply power safely and smartly. For reference, I am using 8 of these motors: https://www.vexrobotics.com/217-2000.html#attr-vex_other_info. Power is not an issue, I have batteries more than capable of powering all 8, I am just unsure on what type of power supply I should use and how I could connect it. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

hmm, well here's the link again: https://www.vexrobotics.com/217-2000.html#attr-vex_kit_contents

If that doesn't work, it's the VEXPRO CIM

Oh no!

The page you requested was not found, but hopefully we can get you to where you want to go.

sorry, to clarify, the link to the motor I'm using is not working?
If that's the case, it is the CIM from VEXPRO

Post an annotated schematic showing how you propose to connect all of this. Be sure to include all connections, power, ground and power sources.
