How long does your robot last on a charge at one of these functions? Did you need extra batteries?
Did your school put up any resistance to your project? and if so what was their reason?

Thanks in advance. Team 19 is trying to get back on its feet as this is the first year--as far as I know--that we have not been able to compete in FIRST. We have planned for something similar for lacrosse or rugby games this spring.

1. It was not a special valve, we use a standard 24 volt, 1" irrigation valve.
2. It wasn't a chilly night. We use baby power for the smoke.
3. We ran the battery for an hour and half, during these functions and we did not have battery problems , so we had no need for an extra battery.
4. No our school did not have any resistance to our project what so ever.
