Q284, on the other hand, was an extremely straightforward and narrow question, and as such got a straightforward and direct response. Be more like Q284.
Asking them to explain the meaning and intent of a rule is broad? I think not. I wasn't being cute. I was being sincere and trying to get a response.

I'd like to see one of two things:
A) Say that teams can use batteries for computing devices provided it is done safely and doesn't interface with the control or motors for the robot. This can be demonstrated by having the team turn off the robot and see what is still running.

or

B) Make the only legal source of power on the robot to be the ROBOT battery.
