Re: Need Rules Clarification -- Battery

The battery needs to be secured, but not necessarily enclosed.

Quote:
<R18> When positioned on the ROBOT, the primary battery must be secured so that it will not dislodge should the ROBOT be turned over or placed in any arbitrary orientation.
Breakaway is a very vigorous game, with rapid changes in orientation as the ROBOTS cross the BUMPS and a potential for significant interaction among ROBOTS. There is a high probability that your ROBOT will be overturned at some point. Should that happen, your design must prevent the battery from falling out and damaging itself, your ROBOT, or other ROBOTS.
