I wonder if the judges will make you count the weight of the brackets as robot weight? I would if I were a judge. If they don't, I could see battery brackets evolving into 15-pound structures that hold the side rails of the 'bot together. They certainly look more robust than our traditional bungee cord method.

What kind of adhesive did you find that adheres to both metal brackets and the plastic battery case? If the battery goes through large temperature changes in shipping it makes me wonder if you will have trouble with thermally-induced material size changes damaging the battery case.
