Even better of an idea, though also dangerous, would be to place a verry powerful NiB magnet on the battery and the robot. If powerful enough, it will restrict the axes of movement but allow the battery to move enough so it doesn't get destroyed by the vibrations. On our battery restraint, even if it was ope, it would have protected the battery from the highest g-forces possibly (falling from the third rung)

He's not talking about zip-tying the battery into place; he's talking about the practice of wrapping a zip tie around the Anderson connector that links the battery with the robot. This mechanically prevents the battery from being unplugged.

I don't think we should be suggesting to teams that they affix very strong magnets to their robot and battery. Among many, many other issues: How do you attach the battery to the magnet? And if you know how to do that, why can't you attach the battery to the robot that way?
