That reminds me of another issue: We originally had our battery resting on two bolts. Probably a bad idea, because it shorted and caused the battery to heat up melt the blue plastic insulation.

We used the pivot bearings in our robot at one time, are you using them as suggested in the instruction manual?
First off, great idea! (battery holder) and wise warning

Yes I'm using the pivot bearings as instructed, maybe an isolated incident?
