Re: pic: Backup battery ends match inside a different robot

This picture reminds me of when our battery cover came of at Monty Madness and was ran over both by us and 1089.

Sorry no pictures...but it was completely destroyed

Re: pic: Backup battery ends match inside a different robot

In regards to the backup battery not being the kit one... we used the standard kit backup battery and was also velcro-ed on the underside of our bot. Despite it falling out frequently, the size or lack of it was not really a concern due to our recharge circuit. The robot didn't care, it just kept running like nothing happens. Same thing if the backup battery went dead (which it wouldn't, it would be charging the entire time) .

It turns out that this cannot happen only in VEX. At Duel on the Delaware today, at the end of one match MOE's back-up battery fell off when they were climbing off the ramp, and landed in our drive train. Fortunately, the battery didn't get destroyed, and was still usable.

Yeah that was pretty insane. I didn't think it could happen. Guess I was wrong haha. And I thought another team's battery fell out at Duel. I could e mistaken though. I'll have to look through my pics. I'm glad that your robot didn't really suffer from the fall of the battery haha. Yall got back from that very small problem and did a spectacular job.
