Thanks for the info aklego. I wonder what it'd take for FTC affiliate partners to have a battery tester (load tester) at the FTC events for teams to use. Perhaps it could be at the field table under FTA supervision ... sure they're cheap and individual teams could attain them.

However, it's the 'I didn't know I needed to know that' which is the most irritating aspect of the Samantha module, and such a battery load tester would incontrovertibly point to the correct problem if employed by the FTA.
