Yes Yes we did, we put them right on the charger, right out of the crate

Run the drive wheels, cylinders, arms and anything else you have. Remember lubracants settle and congeal you've got to spread them around.

You can easily check the voltage on the batteries. Also charge and replace them between every match.
We do not use Drill transmissions, we use the Atwood motors for drive, We had been checking voltage every match, but that was our problem we think the battery had been giving us a false charge, of like 13.2 so we were like" lets get this one becasue it will make us run the best, We later tested the battery in the bot with the bot off and we watched the numbers go:
13.2
13.1
13.0
12.9
12.8

All in the space of about thirty seconds, we had checked everything else on the bot and could not figure out what was wrong with it, eventually we worked are way back to the battery and found that out, but it was fri night when we found out... and even today we didnt do so hot, ohh well there always Nats...
