Re: Robot Battery Placement

I am not sure how many teams charge their batteries on the robot, we never did. We chose to replace battery for every match, so ease of replacing was on top of the priority list. We used electrical tape over the heat shrink rap on terminals as cushion (after our run into mysterious issue), so terminals were protected. Electrical tape doesn't have to come out or get loose to cause problems. When battery jumps as a result of robot bumps, if terminals hits metal tubing electrical tape gets hairline cut, it's hard to notice, which may cause short during next bump.
