This was the only way I was able to get part of our robot painted black instead of purple
. Of course, I had to cover bases and ensure that it still looked tasteful in doing so.
Grab someone wearing a purple shirt in DC if you need extra help. Our competition batteries were shipped with the crate since we have an away regional, and the only batteries we may bring in are the ones we'd use for testing in the pits anyways ... and not on the field... (charging pneumatics before matches, testing motors that may or may not be burned out, etc).
Which brings up the point that this ruling is completely unenforcable if teams begin to claim that batteries are for testing and not competition; or it steps up a notch in absurdity and contradiction if they include non-competition batteries in the withholding allowance.
