and were wondering since the rules for batteries only give rough idea on what batteries are allowed
R31 The only legal source of electrical energy for the ROBOT during the competition, the ROBOT battery, must be a non-spillable sealed lead acid (SLA) battery
Prius batteries are lithium, not SLA... and even if they were allowed, how would you charge them? Certainly not with an SLA charger.
