from what i heard, to fully charge a completely dead battery would take more than 18 hours, although how much longer i'm not sure. but if you think about that, it's still way too long. if your average robot can use one battery for approx. 15 minutes max, before the battery dies completely, we're going to have lots and lots of dead robots. that is not a good thing.

is it possible to get a statement from FIRST saying that it is ok to have a more powerful charger? i would try to do this, but i'm not sure where to go. either that, or if someone could point this out if it's in the rules, that would help too. thanks.
