Re: Robot Battery Placement

We mounted our battery vertical our first four years, and last year we used the AM battery mounting kit for the kit chassis, which mounts the battery horizontally. It was in there quite securely (better than most of our home brew solutions), and only required pulling a single bungee off to remove it from the bracket, but it did require moving some other components out of the way to get to the battery. I'm about 98% certain we're going vertical again this year.
