Re: Check your Anderson battery connectors

There is velcro strapping holding the battery down into a "box" of sorts. In neither of the two matches where the connector separated did the velcro become undone. It's pretty hard to get the battery in and out, you could even say that it's a "press fit."
All of our battery leads are that long, so the battery would have to be launched up 6 inches to pull the connectors apart.


The best theory that I came up with is that it has something to do with the robot-side connector being bolted solidly to the frame (the "attacking side" that hits the defenses before anything else.)
