OK, Calm down.
In the same section of the manual that says you can only use the Exide batteries, it says you can buy additional ones to use from your local exide distibutor.
But. I think then this rule needs clarification:
Quote:
<R39> Specific items NOT allowed include:
• Batteries different from or in addition to those provided in the Kit.

But, then again.. We have this:

<R46> The only legal main source of electrical energy on the robot is one of the two 12v DC non-spillable lead acid batteries provided in the Kit of Parts, or a spare of the same part number. The 7.2v "backup" battery is considered an integral part of the Robot Controller, and may not be used for any other purpose. The only 12V battery that may be used on your robot during competition (Friday and Saturday) is the Exide model ES18-12. (Additional ES18-12 batteries may be purchased through your local Exide supplier.) You may use other equivalent 12V batteries during Thursday practice rounds.

That said:
MY question would be, is the 2 battery shipping picture required, or can you ship more than 2 in a crate as long as it is secured as shown in the picture, in a seperate wood box, and in the original boxes.
