Starting my first UGV project - need some starting help

cyclegadget:
The picture says you have a LM1084, 5V, 5 amp regulator on board. Given that I would think you have up to 5 amps available. Would need a datasheet to say anything more specific.

I think you're right. A friend of me thought the same as you.
There is no datasheet available, but I've contacted the designer of the controller.
