With Team 1165's great engineering skills, we designed a battery holder that snugly held the battery while allowing it to be completely accessible. Also, I prefer velcro over zip ties because velcro is easier to use when you want to reuse it. Even better of an idea, though also dangerous, would be to place a verry powerful NiB magnet on the battery and the robot. If powerful enough, it will restrict the axes of movement but allow the battery to move enough so it doesn't get destroyed by the vibrations. On our battery restraint, even if it was ope, it would have protected the battery from the highest g-forces possibly (falling from the third rung)
