I actually believe that the Robot Controller resets at 7.5 V. However, please realize that the battery voltage depends on amount of load you put on it. As you put more load on the battery, the voltage of the battery decreases temporarily. This is perfectly normal. There will most likely be times during a match, when many of the robot components are running, that the voltage will drop below 10 V. It will probably also come back up to around 11.5 V. So make sure it's a sustained change before doing anything drastic.
