Re: Battery Terminal problems

We had this same issue last year. The screw terminals were loosening during the matches. We found it the hard way similar to how you did. We ended up not being able to move real well and when we replaced the battery the problem went away. I have found the terminals will loosen during normal use and cause problems if they are not tightened after each and every match!

This year we went with the crimped terminals, as they are now allowed by the rules, and we do not have this issue. I suggest you do the same.
