Someone in another thread said that the power spots for last year's DS have been taken up by the scoring systems now. 3 units (2 goals and the return) to replace the 3 DS spots. FIRST probably just didn't want to add more power strips to the field.

75% seemed fine for us. We ran matches below 20% by the end of the day Friday and we didn't have any battery-related issues
