That also means, if you use servos alot, like having them constantly scan back and forth looking for something like, oh I dont know, an IR beacon

then you might need to charge the 7.2V battery between matches, or eventaully it will go dead on you.
That is what we are running into. Our team is going to have to buy a new battery and charger to have on backup for the backup battery. Innovation First is the cheapest place I have found but it cost more to ship the battery than to buy it.
