Re: battery re-do match at msf

If anyone were to ask, I would recommend a shutdown under this situation. Any damage of the battery case can cause leaking, heat or explosion. Therefore any battery not contained within a robot represents a hazard. These batteries contain sulpheric acid in a glass mat. When these batteries are damaged, cases cracked and plates pushed together, they leak, ooze, smell bad and get very, very hot. anything that can be done to prevent further damage should be undertaken, immediately.
As Mike has pointed out S01 and S03 are pretty clear.
<S03> E-Stop - An Emergency Stop (E-Stop) button is located in each TEAM'S Player Station.
Pressing an E-Stop button will cause the TEAM'S ROBOT to be disabled for the remainder
of the MATCH. The E-Stop buttons are intended for remote shut down during a MATCH in
the event of safety hazards and will not otherwise affect MATCH score or duration. Any
TEAM member or referee may press the E-Stop button.
