Obviously full disclaimer: I have never done this before.
Ya, maybe I can use a arduino and a relay, to turn it on and off. But I guess I also don't want to do that, because it would be interrupting the charge of all the other batteries on that charger. So that might get annoying. Don't know. Too bad the frc chargers don't have a serial output on them, lolz.
