Battery Shipping
According to update #5, Section 4.2 has been updated: we must ship the (2) 12v batteries that we received in the kit with the robot. We may ship any spares or take them with us. Why can't we take them with us instead of building a special box, adding 26+ pounds to the crate and adding all the special labeling to the crates? Below is a question and answer that was posted on the First Q & A.
Battery Shipping
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For at least the past two years, it has been permissible for teams to bring their 12V batteries with them to competition (with some standard warning for teams who're flying to plan ahead). However, as Last Year Is Not This Year, I'll ask: Can teams not ship their 12V batteries and bring them with the team to their events?

Per Rule <R11> and Section 4.2, the two 12V batteries supplied in the kit must ship with the robot. Any additional batteries you purchase as spares may be either brought to the event, or shippped with the robot.
