Re: Robot Inspection Checklist Prior to Matches

We also try to remember to charge our pneumatics with a used battery instead of the one that will go on the field just so we can save some power.

Oh, and make sure you have the right code and the right autonomous.

*cough* that's Illegal *cough*

<R34> The only legal source of electrical energy for the ROBOT/HOSTBOT during the competition is one MK ES17-12 12VDC non-spillable lead acid battery, OR one EnerSys NP 18-12 battery, as provided in the 2011 KOP. Batteries integral to and part of a COTS computing device are also permitted (i.e. laptop batteries), provided they’re only used to power the COTS computing device.

emphasis is mine.
By charging with one battery and swapping for a second, you would be breaking this rule.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
