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

One of the cool things about samantha is that teams can no longer goof and start the match with their power switch off. Powering samantha off a third battery could reintroduce that issue. That said, it would be pretty simple to put a relay in the circuit and have both the samantha battery and the main 12V battery controlled by the existing power switch. Or, perhaps even easier, replace the existing SPST switch with a DPST switch hooked to two batteries.
