Posted by Joe Ross on 2/6/2001 12:45 PM EST:
During practices and regular driving, we just change it when it dies.
BUT, here's how we did it during competitions:
Andy: Kit, how new is that battery?
Kit: Um... not sure. I think Kyle changed it before the last match.
Andy: Do we have a fresh one ready?
Kit: Yeah... I say we change it.
Andy: I'm with ya.
Kyle: (just entering the conversation) Hey, gimme a fresh battery, the one on the robot might've run a whole 2.5 minutes... we gotta change it!!!!!!
Something like that. Come by our pit and you can see this process in action.
