Battery Monitor Project

[Bonzabonz]

I checked out the battery beak and it does seem like a good product. As far as functionality goes, ours would be simpler since it only shows the voltage equivalent, not accounting for the load drop -unless you could somehow read it while the bot is running (probably unlikely). Ours was also designed for permanent mount on the robot. As far as price goes however, we were thinking of a price point of around $20, which is a fraction of what the battery beak costs on andymark.

Would it be worth it to teams to have a quick indicator of general battery charge, or is the load check the make or break for this sort of thing?
