<R52> The EX18-12 Battery may only be charged by a 6 Ampere rated Automatic Battery Charger between

with an equivalent charging current rating.
and it would be a custom circuit so:
<R57> The use of additional electronics is intended to allow teams to construct custom circuits for their robots.
The custom circuits may be used to indirectly affect the robot outputs by providing enhanced sensor feedback
to the Robot Controller to allow it to more effectively decide how to control the robot. In addition to the
required branch power circuit breaker, smaller value fuses may be incorporated in the custom circuits for
additional protection.
All outputs from the custom circuits must be connected to the analog inputs, digital
I/O, TTL Serial Port, or Program Port on the Robot Controller.
There are many rules against using an alternator
