Battery Charging and Game Play Questions
 

1. At the beginning of the match (auto mode) does the robot have to be touching the wall with a side or does it just have to be touching it (say with a corner)

2. Can we use a different charger for our batts. We only have 2 batts and I have a power supply (that runs my cnc mill) and a Great Planes Triton Charger that charges nimhs, nicads, lipos, li-ions.

Im pretty sure that somepart of the robot has to be touching the wall, not necessarily a whole side because we would usually have only a corner touching and they never said anything.

See SG1 here, where "touching" means just that, and I find nothing to indicate which kind of charger may or may not be used for the official VEX battery. [EDIT]Only the offical VEX charger may be used, see below [/EDIT]Don
