Re: can we use 2 batteries?

Last year we used a nice thick steel plate for some added ballast at the front of our robot. Helped prevent tipping, and brought us up to the weight limit. The plate started around 20lbs, but i think we ended up shaving off a little before competing.

hopefully we're under again this year so we can use some more steel plates to offset the battery, which is looking to be on one side of the robot, making us a little lopsided!
