No, is it just a USB connection?

I have not inspected closely the values, but from a driver standpoint, it seems to be fairly consistent. We had it driving for over 5 minutes, and at the end, I don't remember any odd behavior (except for the movement getting a little weaker, but the robot we are using drains the battery after about 3 minutes when all systems are on)
