2 Batteries took this robot 4.5 miles (before we stopped). We've actually been running it on the jogging trail (with hills) at our local Metropark to verify it has enough distance - 8 batteries took it much, much further.

FRC bots generally take very little power if you're driving in a straight line with no secondary mechanisms running. We've checked amperage and found that one side of the drivetrain pulls 4-5 amps running on flat ground.

The solar panel can actually supply a decent chuck of power while the bot is running. We haven't tested the panel output, but I expect the panel to give 50-75 watts (it's rated to 250 at max sun conditions). That's around 50% of what the bot takes to run on flat ground.
