Is it legal to have two anderson clip leads on one battery so that the battery can still be
plugged into the robot and be charging at the same time? If so I would put the braker on both
of the leads so I can turn one off while using the other.

No. This would be a violation of Rule <R37>.

I completely agree with this, and didn't intend for my statement to be taken otherwise. There is nothing wrong, however, with having a single Anderson connector on the robot with leads long enough that it can be plugged into a battery sitting next to the robot for pneumatics charging, and then unplugged from that battery and (using the same Anderson connector) plugged into the competition battery, which has already been inserted and secured to the robot.
