I'm just curious, but have you made the arrangements to do something with all the batteries you are planning to collect? Out here in NY, we can only recycle specific types of batteries, the rest have we have to pay a rather significant fee for disposal. I would love to hear of the some the logistics in getting such an recycling event set up!

As far as the robot batteries go, according to the FIRST Safety Manual:

The Interstate Batteries Company http://www.interstatebatteries.com has volunteered to accept and properly dispose of any FIRST team's batteries, and you can find a location near you from the above web site.
Most retailers of automotive batteries will accept and properly dispose of them at no cost.
