Re: How does your team charge & test batteries?

Aside from a charging station/battery beak, we cut up red and green pool noodles in 1 inch slices (the kind with the hollow center). When a battery comes off the robot after a match, we pop a red noodle around the wire. When the battery is fully charged (and checked with the beak), we put a green noodle on it. This way, we always have a stock of recognizable and fresh batteries for the quick turnaround matches on Saturday afternoons.
