Adam, you will still need to get a connector from FIRST ... the connector on the Robot Controller is NOT the same one that is on a hobby-type 7.2 battery pack (they use mini-C size cells). We bought the plugs from IFI and made our own adapter so we could use either battery. The battery packs from IFI are AA-size cells and are 6.95 each, the Battery Connector pack is $3.50 from IFI. We bought 2 sets of battery connectors, two sets of battery pwr-connectors ( so we could also make jumpers to use a charger that we already have for the larger hobby type batteries for the smaller IFI batteries) and we bought 2 extra battery packs all for $42.40 with shipping and everything...got here real quick too..
