We are in our third year with a few tournaments behind us. We just recieved our second Dual Pro RS3.
How many batteries does your team have? FRC 4607 CIS has budgeted for an additional two batteries each year (beyond the KOP). Going off of experience, some teams do make calculations for elims based off how prepared your team is.
Being a team that was completely unprepared our Rookie season - and all the speculations that were made by other teams at our pit - we made certain to never be in that position again.
Third Year: We now have 11 Batteries and 3 battery chargers. We are building a charging station that can house 10 batteries (6 charging at any one time) with 4 'ready'. We have designated 1 battery as our 'PIT' battery that has a designated battery charger in the PIT.
Edit: Creating a flow chart and designating a PIT member as a 'Battery Person (boi)' helps eliminate confusion.
