I agree, we were testing our minibot this weekend, we started out with a partially drained battery that was cold. We then charged it a immediately tested after it was done, the battery was pretty warm and we had a slower time, roughly .2-.3 seconds slower. We all remembered that a hotter the battery, lower its power output. We try to let our batteries cool, even for the hostbot batteries. Sometimes though, we forget.

Cool minibot by the way. Can you explain the photo-resister?
