Re: Batteries on robot
<R51> 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 EX18-
12. (Additional EX18-12 batteries may be purchased through your local Exide supplier.) You may use other
equivalent 12V batteries during Thursday practice rounds.
