Good point. At first when I saw this I said 'uh oh'. In reality, I believe any of the batteries that were used on our 2008 bot (there were 4) had to be re-oriented to work with our 2009 bot. We swapped from parallel connectors to angled connectors, and by doing so probably just saved ourselves some time in the pits. Those plus the 2009 batteries should suffice.
There are a couple of others that I don't know if we did or not, but I don't know if they were put in the crate -- they're our 'test' batteries from our 2006 season, used for things like charging pneumatics, etc. Therefore they shouldn't fall under the game manual's jurisdiction.
