Re: # of Batteries at regional
We used 4 batteries last year, with 2 chargers. Somehow, one disappeared .. and we're down to 5 batteries this year (since we got 2 in the kit), and 3 chargers. All the chargers and batteries have their own Anderson connector, which makes it idiot proof to use.

Batteries are rotated and usually 2 are fully charged (and sitting on the bottom of our cart) at any given time. Last year in the Curie Final rounds in ATL .. there was this team that had a cart with probally 25 batteries and like 10 chargers. I wish I had my camera with me at the time .. it was something to see.
