Re: Questions at demos

A very common question I've been asked is: How long does the battery last?

I've no clue why, but I guess it's an attempt to ask something technical of a technical person and not look silly. Everyone understands batteries dieing, not so much the inner workings of a Victor.

I usually respond 20 minutes before stuff stops working at a typical demo, less if I'm driving. It only has to work 2 minutes at a time, and probably less then an hour total so the 'bots aren't made for longevity or efficiency. The motors usually overheat before the battery drains down, so the battery is rarely a limiting factor.
