I started back on my Vex setup and went with a very basic code for right now.
Chris James knows away to code 2 Vex and use 1 controller. I need to contact him and see if this is something I can figure out and I may go this route.
This would make it nice to run the body off 1 Vex and the dome off another Vex.
I went to Radio Shack and bought a battery connector, So I can run the Vex off a 12v. battery with a Universal power supply. The supply allows me to convert the 12v. down to 7.5v.
I did this because I'm trying to eliminate so many different batteries in R2.

Hmmm..so you will be using your foot batteries to power the vex too? WIll it drain too fast?
The feet are 24v., So I'm going to have them power only the feet.
I'll have 2 other 12v. batteries for acc. and other things.
I don't want the main drive to go dead too fast.
I just want to get away from all the little 9v. batts.

Because I'm a newbie compared to you guys I'll be having a lot of questions in a few months about power supplies and such. This is the only part that gives me the "fish-out-of-water" kind of feeling

We're all learning as we go also.
So don't be afraid to ask questions,
That's how we all get the job done.
