Re: Backup Battery...Yay or Neh?

I liked knowing the robot would not reset on the field. What I would like is someway to know the voltage level in real time just as we have with the main battery. Several times the IFI person came and told us, just as a match was starting, that our back-up was dead. We had to play with the hope that there was enough juice to power our winch latch servo. Luckily each time it was when we had switched starting positions on the field and it was our partners that had not been plugged in or they never charged it because they did not need it.
