hmm, i thought when the voltage dropped too low, the robot controller (that's what i meant by RC) recognizes that the battery is dead for the purposes that we use them for. sure, the voltage will pop back up, but any drain on the battery will bring it down again. so, i thought that it was programmed to turn off after the voltage drops too low. i know i saw a red light, so it may have been the data signal, but i can't remember now.

also, i'm pretty sure i've seen the low battery light stay solid, even when the voltage is in 10, because it drop down to like 9.1 then went back up. so at least the RC knows when the battery is dieing. and i didn't change that section of the code at all, so that's not it.
