I know that we at 190 would appreciate any additional information that you could provide us that you may find out about this problem.

We had very similar problems where we would plug in our batteries and they would read 13.1, and then every 5-10 seconds or so, it would drop 0.1V with absolutely no motors running (just the light and robot controller and speed controllers). Then when taken off the robot, a voltmeter would read it as 13.1 again. We went through three batteries and they all seemed to undergo similar problems. We only stumbled across this problem early this afternoon today, so we didnt really have ample time to troubleshoot the problem fully. So any additional information anyone else may know about this peculiar problem would be greatly appreciated.
