Re: Battery Charger Modification Kits Available
While I think that the service that the Kell Robotics team is providing to the FRC community is noteworthy, and the donation of the proceeds to charity is commendable, it is important to point out one thing. Any modifications to the battery charger provided in the Kit Of Parts would appear to be a violation of Rule <R67>.
A request has been submitted to FIRST to have the rule amended to permit these types of modifications (which are effectively safety improvements). However, until that request is approved and a change to the rule is actually put in place, you are running a risk by modifying the battery charger.
