Re: Use of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries in place of Lead Acid for FRC r
You're not crashing your T-Shirt cannon into other robots at 20ft/s. The cannon is benign in comparison in multiple ways.
I think I know where Mk.32 is coming from as I work in the same industry. These batteries can be hazardous and we put a lot of effort into battery level & system level protections to prevent catastrophic battery failures. I've seen enough damage to robot batteries over the past six seasons that FRC would probably be burning down two building per year if we went with most existing lithium batteries.
