Production Battery
We went with eight generic NiMH batteries which we soldered into packs. They were $15 for 20 at Frys, so we can afford to get quite a few of them. The number of packs per robot has been upped to two to handle the increased current requirements of the kicker.

| Type | NiMH |
| Voltage | 9.6V |
