We're not going to Atlanta, but when you get a chance, look at the contacts in the connectors, see for yourself. As far as I know they were all pre-terminated connectors. I don't have access to the batteries and chargers and robots right now, or I'd take some pictures.

I think Al S. is looking into this. I doubt it's the cause of all the battery problems, but we did notice a definite difference between the performance of the older and newer connectors when we were wiggling wires around at the AZ regional (when we also had another serious wiring problem).
