Re: Battery life?

When I drive the practice bot we usually go for about 10-15 minutes before I see a noticeable drop in the performance of the robot (as in, it stops driving top speed). Sometimes a little bit longer.

Past robots haven't been quite as efficient, sometimes they have only lasted like 5 minutes or so.

No matter what though we always change the battery after every match, just to be safe.


I'd say that if you are just barely making it through a 2:15 second match with a full battery, there is a serious problem. Really anyone should be able to go at least double that without absolutely having to change the battery.
