Mike,
Can of worms here. I voted for unlimited batteries but that doesn't mean I would bring twenty. As a cooperative example, electrical and mechanical designers should keep the mech power to electrical power tradeoffs reasonable. This is after all a teaching experience for our students. In real world we do not design a motive system that runs out of power in two minutes so we should at least nudge designers into using more efficient systems. This year is far more demanding on power systems but that is what makes us great. Let's see how well the finalists do on keeping competitive with only two batteries.
