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?

We talked about this before in t his 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.
