Re: Al's Annual Inspection Thread

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
We talked about this before in this thread. I had the same thoughts you did. I don't think we resolved the issue and Q&A never got back to me.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
