Overly Optimistic Battery Estimations?

[Al Skierkiewicz]

I will go out on a limb here and say this, "if you can't run at least two matches on a battery you need to look at your mechanical design." There are a lot of factors contributing to battery drain but an efficient design should not drain the battery during one two minute match. If it does, your robot has either come dangerously close to reset or has reset during the match.
