Re: Where to mount the battery?
Exactly what are you designing for? The FRC build season doesn't start until Kickoff (first Saturday of January), so I assume a preseason warmup bot?

Rule of thumb: Low and to the center, with a container made to prevent the battery from sliding around your robot. For 11, this often means bent 16GA Aluminum, but Beta used 8020 and polycarb to build their battery box. Doesn't really matter as long as it doesn't slide around and doesn't fall off.
