Re: VEX Battery Pack Runtime?

If you're talking about the 7.2V2000mAH (for the robot) and the 9.6V1000mAH (for transmitter), typically you should be able to get at least an hour, and possibly quite a bit more of runtime, depending on your robot and how you run it. Last night some of the team ran a "robo-pool" game booth open for public tryout at the local 'National Night Out' celebration. Using the same robot they ran at IRI 'Enter-Action' (squarebot based plus a manipulator) they ran pretty much continuously for over two hours without a battery change; I wouldn't have expected that.
