the box has straps like a backpack so he wears at competitions!!! Its a fun way to have younger members gain responsibility and experience in the pit.

Is this to get them into shape for lifting the robot at part of the drive team? That might be a good incentive for the team member to do a good job.

Sorry for breaking the streak of puns. Mine tend to be really lame.

I guess we have an open circuit now. :ahh:

If he'd used a fuse instead of a breaker, we'd be a lot more burned out.

Wow, I missed that I had inadvertently inserted a pun.

The fuse must have been a slow-blow type.

What type of surface-mounted hardware are you referring to? :D

Re: Do you have a battery boi?

We assign a battery personnel to keep track of our batteries. We generally have two students who work in shifts. We keep the battery beak attached to our cart so in the event that our battery people aren't around, the drive team can check charges. It is the responsibility of these students to rotate the batteries, and relay them to the arena if need. Also, our batteries are each uniquely assigned a name of an important historical figure in STEM, so we just ask for batteries by name instead of number.

Re: Do you have a battery boi?

We did our first three years, though without the "backpack box"; this year we have a Batt Girl. (at least three people independently called her that on the first day (yesterday); she's already tired of it!) This is the first year that we've identified the batteries rather than just rotate them; she decided to name them after German scientists. I suspect that she just likes to use umlats (her name is Zoe with an umlat on the e).

I'll take a breaker from the galvanic pile-on. Franklin, I think that's Leyden directly to ground.

My amperologies; that should read directly to ground.
