FWIW, you might want to have your drivers/programmers/anyone who operates the robot to make a habit of looking at the center of the OI to see if the following lights are ever on: Low Main Batt, No Main Batt, or Backup Batt.

If Low Main Batt comes on while you're trying to move .. it's probably best to change it out. During driver practice and training, we usually leave the OI set to display the battery voltage and the kids watch it constantly.
