Re: How to power Mini-PC on robot?
I initially saw the rule (COTS device with Battery) as a power limiting concession, but can also appreciate how it is a safety issue (did the team design the power circuit correctly).
A COTS device that includes a battery is an easy bright line to enforce. If you allow teams to install any battery, then what are the rules on what can get a battery? If a fire starts because a custom battery circuit shorted out, how do you turn it off?
I'm surprised that Samsung 7's weren't banned.
