Re: PNW robotics teams, what'd you think of the district model?

For our first district event at Oregon City we ran up against the charging limit big time. We go through a battery a match because our robot can only go at match speeds for 4 minutes off of a single battery ( 2 matches = 5 minutes). This meant with the higher number of matches, we ran through our 8 batteries quickly, and eliminations saw us run out in Semi's. Luckily other team's loaned us batteries (shout out to 997 and 847) and we survived Oregon City. For OSU we bought 2 more and switched our chargers to 6 amp to cope with the increased throughput that was required. Overall it worked well and we have no complaints, but more power would be nice because more chargers could be run, in turn allowing us to charge at 2 amps and increase the life of our batteries.
