Re: Backup onboard charger not correct

Certainly that is the safest way to read the rule, but USFIRST has in the past been very specific in their choice between the words "may" and "must". If this rule specifically, definitively, was intended to disallow an alternate on-robot charger, is should use the word "must".

A poorly designed charger could lead to overheating of the batteries, so a specific charger design should be used here.

I'll be interested in their comments on this.
