Re: [FTC]: Samantha? Like it or hate it?

That pretty much mirrors what I've been seeing in Oregon in the 4 tournaments we've had so far. We've only had 1 NXT lock up, but Samantha losing power happened with some regularity. I definitely agree with the weak vs strong battery data.

As much as I don't like having another battery, I'm tempted to suggest to FIRST that Samantha have it's own. (I may also experiment with some of my local teams during the off season). The other thing I think will help would be splicing samantha directly into the battery connector, instead of way out at the end of the motor chain.
