minibot battery

[BornaE]

Yes, You are required to have that battery on the minibot.

Also the only legal source of power for the minibot upwards motions is that battery. Spring or anything else besides the battery is not allowed to provide or assist the upwards movement of the minibot.

But
"No more than one HiTechnic DC motor controllers"

Since FIRST did not choose to say "No more than one battery", are you required to have the 2lb battery on your Minibot?

Thanks,
