Some power supplies (what we might call "old school") use a [transformer|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer] to convert the wall voltage (110 volts in the Canada, the US and Japan, 200-240 volts in most of the rest of the world) down to the low voltage (5-12 volts) used for our robot. The more power we needed, the larger the transformer. The amount of power that could be delivered was almost a direct relation to the size the transformer. Transformers can get big and heavy.

My dad used to really like trying to guess what was in his Christmas gifts. I remember one Christmas where as a joke gave him an extremely heavy transformer from a [Bell UH-1 Iroquois helicopter|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_UH-1_Iroquois] that I'd bought at a local surplus store (I wanted the chassis it was in, or some such reason). I'd put his real gift under the transformer and there were some laughs, ha ha. He then picked up the transformer and dropped it into what he thought was an empty box full of wrapping paper, except it wasn't empty. It contained the Rotal Albert tea cup I'd just given my mom. Ugh.
