Re: Batteries Carried Into Competitions

Here is what I'm going to do:
1. I'm going to email my VirginiaFIRST rep and protest the ruling.

2. I'm not going to have my team remove the leads from the batteries. They are going to arrive at VCU, as they are now, in a black tote labeled "batteries." IF someone wants to check them as we arrive, they are more than welcome to do it. If the inspector informs us that they are illegal (Personally, I don't think that's going to happen.), we will remove the leads and put them back on 5 minutes later.

Yes, this may not be completely 'GP', but a little civil disobedience now and then isn't such a bad thing.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
