We designed it that way. It allows us to lose some weight when we go to hang on the bar! (joking)

That wasn't the first time we've had the battery come out. I remember our 2002 robot. During testing of the tank drive (1 joystick forward, 1 backward) we spun it in circles real fast......until the battery flew out and landed several feet from the robot!
