OK, so the problem is that the batteries are going dead.

The solution is the same as with my laptop computer: When the battery's dead, I plug it in and run off the wall outlet. (Translation: Find a 100A 12 V power supply and run heavy cables to the robot during practice).

(Oh, and Max: Battaries? Sheesh!)
