Re: Need Rules Clarification -- Battery
Keep in mind that there is expected to be a LOT of high-energy impacts during this year's matches (especially as robots drop off the bumps). Securing the battery within your robot is probably more important than ever. Inspectors will be carefully enforcing the "battery must be secured" rule (<R18>). No one wants to have a battery welded to their robot.

The rules may not require "enclosed" but they definitely require "secured".
