Re: Batteries parellel
Is it legal on a competition bot?, no, for reasons stated above.
Is it possible, yes it is. We have a robot dubbed "chairbot" that ran on two batteries plugged into a custom made Anderson splitter that Y'ed off of the main breaker (robot was once competition worthy) to accept 2 batteries simultaneously for extended life.
One important thing to note is to ALWAYS! ensure that both batteries are fully charged before plugging them in together. The current rush from a fully charged battery into a dead one could be catastrophically bad. For this reason, hot-swapping batteries one at a time is a no-go.
