Re: Building the FRC Crate

Batteries are a smidge under 14 lbs if I recall (and depending on the weight of your cable and connectors, could be 14).

It can be a hassle, but you are allowed to fly them; If I recall, it's 2 per person and you should double check the current TSA rules. However, at 14 lbs each, and many teams having 10 or so batteries, it can save A LOT of money.

And if you're driving to an event, no reason at all to ship them; you even get the added benefit of being able to charge them very recently before the competition.
