I am looking for a good power supply to tether power to my FTC team's robot. The battery has a 20A fuse, so i'll assume that's all the amps the robot will ever need. I'm only a high school student, and i was wondering if Inductive loads powered by a switching or a ATX PSU would cause anything to blow up. At most there would be 8 550 sized DC motors, and 6 Hobby servos, starting at the same time. Also the tether cord could be up 10 feet. What gauge do you recommend for that? It would be alright if the voltage drops a few volts, as it already does when powered by a battery. I was even thinking of adding a resistor to simulate the ESR of the battery we usually use. I'm on a budget here but protecting the robot's sensitive cell phone and controller is most important.
Here is the battery i'm trying to replace:
