Just assuming you are running under a lower voltage and being pleasantly surprised when the voltage is higher is usually good for mechanisms.

That being said, it is often prudent to do your analysis for a mechanism at a lower than 12V Voltage to see how it may operate. This is especially true for end-game mechanisms as the batteries are often getting tired towards the end of matches.
