Re: Battery required by rule
The main problem with Li batteries is like you say, cost. The other is that only some are safe considering the beating our bots take. I think the good one is a LiFeP. Probably more expensive too.
Mostly I'd just as soon stick with what we have because of the investment we have in both batteries and chargers. I could see stocking up on batteries and chargers the first year being a kilobuck expense.
Also, even though we are only 4 years old, we've yet to build a bot that even comes close to running out of juice in one match.......
Here's to a great year!
Mike
