Re: Warming up the batteries
I agree with all of the battery comments. You should be fine.
Two more aspects of cold ambient affecting FRC robots:
1. The first is if your robot utilizes latex tubing. Latex changes its springlike properties dramatically at low temps.
2. The second is to be sure that the ambient temp and/or robot temp is well above the dew point. The electronics, if cold, can condense moisture from the air and can make things interesting.

Mike
