Power in the stands

[cgmv123]

We have an inverter with an Anderson connector on it. We use it with a spare robot battery mainly to run a monitor for our Chairman's presentation.

As for scouting, our stands scouting is low tech. We use wet erase markers and laminated sheets. Our scanner is located elsewhere in the arena where we can find an outlet.

With 8 laptops, a network switch, and a camera, we have not found robot batteries to be adequate. Also, it doesn't help that they shut off the power on the pits at night.

With the distance that we travel we can not bring a larger battery. It also limits how much we bring to run off the inverter so it works for us. I found that robot batteries are easy to carry up and down stairs.

Sort of like 7 years ago when my company, Bayer Healthcare, was taken over by Siemens Healthcare. Being a big tech company I was expecting great things. We took a step backwards of around 10 years in technology.
