And, athough the rule clearly says that "any 7.2 volt NiCad battery may
be used" the technical inspectors refused our use of a larger 7.2 volt
battery in a prior year. If you come to a regional with a different battery
you should make sure that you also bring the FIRST provided one just
in case...
Or as all teams should, make sure you have a copy of the rule book with you during inspection (and at at all times).
