Re: Think About Protecting Your Battery!

Remember, this year securing your battery on the robot is not just a good idea. It is a requirement. Make sure you have read and understand the implications of Rule <R18>. Just having a cradle for the battery to rest inside is not going to cut it. The battery needs to be velcro-ed, strapped, buckled, tied, bolted, glued, zipped, or stapled in place so that it can't fall out when (not if) the robot turns upside-down.
