Mr. V,
After extensive testing (by MK and others) a few seasons back, the rate at which the average robot draws current puts the DOD at greater than 50%. The engineers at MK put our expected life cycle at about 400 cycles on average. For teams in general that will give a good three to four years of use. However, with teams that draw down the battery in one match (obvious cRio reset at the end of the match) that life expectancy is two years or less.
