Re: battery organizer/ charger
Both 1293 and 1618 of late have a system involving one responsible student minding the chargers and the batteries; as batteries get charged, they get an AndyMark flag to make everything crystal-clear. The job was a little easier last year for the Capitals, since there were only two legal batteries to use, but it's still important for us to make sure we don't get out there (especially with our history of providing marginally-effective robots as it is) with a robot that moves halfway across the field and dies.
We haven't ever had any fancy storage for our battery setup, though some teams have in the past. Whatever floats your goat, I say.
