Re: Parade Preparation

We have a battery splitter that we use to wire two batteries in parallel. We then have two leads on the robot instead of one so we can either plug in two batteries at once for extended battery life, or we can switch batteries without powering down the robot by plugging in the new battery before unplugging the old. This way we don't have to turn off the robot to change the battery during parades.
