I dunno, just a thought.
Let's go further and say that in order to keep your robot powered you must keep placing coal in the furnace. This could promote power management (turn off nonessential things when running low on coal.) The power doesn't actually run out the FMS just terminates the connection between the DS and the robot. A team member can help another robot by placing coal in their furnace for them.
