: Hi, we were wondering if any of the other teams out there is experiencing the same problem that we have. Our problem is that on the robot controller, the low battery light goes on for a few minutes, the it goes off, and then back on again. So how are we supose to know when our battery is low?

This would be a good question for the folks at Innovation First.

The basic behavior is that once the light starts blinking (or goes on solid), it stays that way until you reset the R.C. My guess is that your battery is getting low enough to turn on the light during moments of extreme current draw, then you keep going and it drops voltage enough to reset the board, then you drive gently for a while so that the light doesn't go on right away.
