I suggest buying extra batteries once we get into the competition season. It's good to have 4-5 good (and legal) batteries when you compete at a Regional or at the Championships.

I agree. Our team has about 7 batteries that we can use during competition ... It's nice to have extras to lend to a team in need if we aren't going to be using one for the remainder of the competition!
As for chargers, I would wait until the build starts to buy these. I don't know if you recall last year's contorversy over that or not ... I would wait and see what FIRST has to say this year!
