Tyler,
Are you talking about the robot 12 volt display on the Classmate or the voltage on the Classmate battery?
The 12 volts from Module 1 is used by the Crio to determine if the robot battery level is getting too low. The Crio power supply on the PD drops out at 4.5 volts. So knowing this fact, the designers added a safety margin of 1 volt to the Crio firmware. The Crio disables all output when the battery falls to 5.5 volts. Without the voltage monitor, it is possible for odd behavior from your robot during these low battery conditions.
