Re: Running Two Batteries

We had a deep cycle (that we took from a Wall-E robot designed by our mentors) on our cart that we used to power our robot in the pits & to re-charge our pneumatics while we were lined up before our matches, that seemed to work pretty well. Also, you'll want to be sure that you don't use a car battery inside, as it has chemicals. I don't know about the deep cycle, but I assume it is ok to run inside.
