On approx Page four of Chapter 10 in the manual it has a table and in the table (at least Rev. A) it gives a phone number for you to call, a name with his email and tells you to identify yourself as a FIRST team and give team number. Hope this helps

Don't forget - you still need to get more Anderson disconnects for each of the batteries. We got our extra ones from AndyMark - here's the link (http://andymark.biz/am-0009.html). I personally liked them a lot - they're a lot easier than the screw-in crimps and messy electrical tape!

I agree that they are really nice because you can easily and quickly change the batteries without really work at all. It's an easy connection and the judges like them at the regionals. You can use them on all of your robots if you use the Anderson disconnects on them and that is just on easy system instead of having a couple of different possibility's.
