I am confused because you are going to see one irate ThunderChicken if inspectors try to tell me my VEX chargers are not legal to charge.
I believe Al is just making a recommendation. ("The minibot batteries are best charged by a smart charger at no more than 900ma made for charging NiMH batteries.") There's no robot rule this year regarding which chargers are legal.
