Current Hardware

The robot is chassis is powered by four 9V batteries, which provide inefficient amperage and are prone to dying rapidly after prolonged use of the robot's motors.

Future Goal

Find a rechargeable battery to power the motors and BT module with sufficient amperage and voltage output.

DF8EEA74-9460-42B9-86CF-0B40D55C868F New power source recieved, one will replace the current 9v batteries, the other will be a backup able to be switched out when needed.

Amperage should be strong enough too so it isn't useless below 6V of charge. LGTM
