It is important to remember that when a robot is involved in pushing or is running with motors near stall, the main battery gets down to 7 volts or even lower. We have observed conditions on robots where they regularly drain the main battery down to 4 or 5 volts. It is for these reasons IFI began using the backup battery. Remember that the backup keeps the main proc alive and keeps the radio modems talking, no matter what voltage the main battery has fallen to. If you are on my alliance, I hope you are using a charged backup battery with no ties to the main battery and no attempt to compete with the bachup battery disabled.
