Re: Al's Annual Inspection Thread

Al,

At last year's Championships, I was doing spot inspections on the field to make sure all cables were attached, driver stations were booted, etc. to keep things running on the field. I found one team using a spare battery plugged into their robot in order to charge their pneumatics without pulling power from their competition battery which was already installed on the robot. I objected to this on the grounds that it violates the spirit of the rule which says all power must come from ONE battery. Other inspectors disagreed, saying it was a good practice to extend the on-board battery.

How would you call this one?

Dr. Bob
