###Batteries The 12 batteries that should always be charged unless in a game or scrimmage are the 5 first half, the 5 second half, the sub, and the emergency battery. The game batteries are labeled 1-5 and should be placed in the robot with the corresponding position. The ‘first' batteries should be placed in the robots for the first half of the game and ‘second' batteries should be put in for the second half. The sub battery should be placed in the sub robot. The emergency battery should stay charging throughout the game until needed. The game batteries should not be used for testing and should stay plugged in. Please use the portable whiteboard to write down when the battery was plugged in and what robot the battery is in.

The Routine:

###Pregame: ####Step 1: Plug in both the first and the second game batteries. ####Step 2: Bring the necessary items to the field. Please follow the "Bring to Field" list. ###The Game:

  1. Bring the second half, the emergency batteries, and three screwdrivers over once the game has started. Please be sure to plug them in to the field charging station.
  2. When the half ends, unvelcro the sides of the jerseys. Immediately done all the robots after unless otherwise told so. Two people should unscrew the backs while one person changes the batteries and turns the robots on again regardless if the screws are screwed down yet. Then someone with a screwdriver should return and screw all of the backs back on and sit them up. If needed, plug the ethernet cord into the back of the head. DONT FORGET TO PLUG THE ROBOTS IN ONCE THEY HAVE BATTERIES!
  3. Please run any battery used in the game back to the official charging station and plug them in once all the robots turning on and all the screws are screwed in.

Postgame:

Make sure the first, second, and sub batteries are removed from the robots and are charging. Place the jerseys neatly on the table so they do not get lost. Please do not forget the screwdrivers at the field!
