Need lipo batteries on robot, estimate cost battery and charge system.

Make sure the batteries are 'high discharge' because the motors will draw a large current (10's of amps each). http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Tenergy-11-1v-3S-5000mAh-25C-LIPO-RC-Battery-Pack-w-Deans-/290927058242

Current estimate: ~$60 per battery, need 3 on board so ~$180, ~1.2kg. Also need charger ~$100
