Re: [OCCRA]: VEX Robot Backup Battery Error
Some truth to what you say regarding the big robots. The 7.2 if fully charged will last 4 matches.....HOWEVER

This past week several robots lost the CORTEX function as the 7.2 battery failed. If they would have had the 9V in place the robot would have played the match.

Also the lack of the 9v gives you a annoying red light! This causes the field set-up to have to stop, look and verify that the red light is for the back-up and not something else.

We will have a decision by the G&K that this 9v is required at inspection. It is easy to install and causes no issues.
