Re: Legality of running a capacitor inline with roboRIO power
It's just power output compared to ℅ battery charge. We use it to get a rough idea of how fast our batteries are being drained. Older, worse batteries tend to lose charge faster.

Theoretically, loss of 30℅ charge from 100% is normal for us. So about 12.5v to 8.75v per match, according to our multimeters
