I like the idea of an inverter connected to an anderson connector and using an older battery.

We certainly will if we make finals, and it will also help in qualifiers.

Heh. I was charging that thing at least twice on the field before our match was up. That was only because the machine shop was nearby. I don't know of any power outlets at Palmetto.

We Should make it a priority to have the classmate charging at all times. The converter would be nice to have around, but I'm not entirely sure how useful it would be. It might be more useful at nationals...

It was charging at all times. Like maybe we should put it to sleep, but we do test the robot in the pits quite a bit.

In any situation, I think it'd be nice to have.

Reading some threads on CD, this whole battery charger might be REALLY helpful (read that as "necessary") for Championships when there are little to no outlets we have access to.
