Re: Battery connected backwards to robot
We connected a battery backwards due to the wires being reversed on the Anderson connector. The operators noticed it wasn't behaving right after being connected and turned on for a couple of minutes. The battery was hot but I don't believe there was any damage to any of the electrical components. They put in a new battery and worked fine through competition season without replacing any parts.
