Re: 3 CIM Drive Train Battery Draw
I'm noticing significantly less charge over time than I'm used to, but we are running 5 cims (4 drivetrain, 1 intake). Mostly our high-load fast paced practice with lots of intake run has seen this drop. We're running it a lot more in practice than I expect to under live fire, but I will continue gladly enforce my "1 match, 1 battery" guideline for my team. Can't risk running low and killing effectiveness.
That being said, I still don't expect noticeable voltage drop with less than 3 minutes of intense play like previous years for most teams. I think I've only run one robot in competition doing 2 matches per battery, and that was the unmentionable year, where we had, IIRC, only 3 motors.
