Re: Battery Charging Station

I was aiming at continuous monitoring and a readout updated a couple times a second!
For what purpose?

Don't get me wrong, I have over-complicated plenty of modules on robots in the past, but when it comes to off-season projects like a battery cart, where it is something that your team will use for a long time, it's better for your team to have a lot of things like that, instead of using all of its time and resources on a project that while partially useful, is also not helpful to a point and over the top.

That being said, if you have a ton of people, a ton of time, and plenty of money to make such an elaborate system, then full steam ahead. However I know most teams would benefit from having a battery cart as well as other items such as various other pit space items (i.e. a solid workbench with storage, a quality robot cart, a display that showcases its robot and chairman's qualities), or some robot prototypes that can be built upon and benefited from for years to come.
