no, the controller itself takes almost no power to run. what it controls is what consumes the power. and i'm pretty sure once the voltage drops too low, the controller is designed to shut it self off, so the robot doesn't 'spaz out' and kill someone. the controller cannot function with less than 8 volts, for reasons i can't explain. but, i know that below 8 volts, and it can start flipping out, so i'm almost certain it's designed to automatically shut down so it can't destroy anything. the fact that the solid low battery light is coded in and unchangeable supports my theory, i think.
