I still think mechanisms should be limited by a control loop and not the state of your battery whenever possible.

the control loop only works when you have a reserve in power, not when you go all out and the battery top of level makes a huge impact in performance. For example our kicker. We just slam it with maximum power, there is no margin for a control loop here, if the battery isn't up to the required level a control loop will do nothing to fix that. You could argue the design shouldn't have to rely on that, but it's hard enough getting a working robot done much less something this tuned out.
