Re: Charging the 7.2 Volt Batteries

Well i don't think its as much of the fact of a full recharge as make sure that the camera and the servo's and other stuff don't take most the batteries energy when ther may come a time where you need that extra boost.

Besides if it is charging all throughout a match wouldn't that mean a faster recharge in the pits?

Besides in a way this also would help (according to how you wired it) if like a team member forgot to put a new backup battery in there at least the servo's and the camera could run off of the circuit..... or purhaps it comes disconnected suring a game.

There are several advantages especial for a little circuit that take a VERY SMALL amount of weigth and space.
