I remember reading in the Manual (I think it was in the section about crate construction) that foreign teams will be supplied with batteries at the competition, due to certain customs issues or something.

4.6.2.Shipping Batteries
It is not mandatory that you ship your batteries with the robot, however, if you choose to ship the 12VDC batteries in the crate with the robot, federal regulations require teams to follow the instructions below.
• NO batteries are to remain mounted on the robot (connected or not)!
• Ship them inside their original box or carton packaging.
• Use the Styrofoam covering with protective caps to cover the battery terminals.
• Secure the boxed batteries inside an “inner battery box.” See the Robot Shipping web page for further instructions on constructing an inner battery box.
• Both the inner battery box and the outside of the crate must be labeled “NON-SPILLABLE BATTERY INSIDE.” The Shipping and Drayage document for your Regional Event will include printable labels for your use.
• NOTE: International teams do not need to ship batteries with their robots to events in the US. Batteries will be provided for your use, via the spare parts table, at the regional events.
