Fix battery display #206

Closed AllanYangZhou closed 8 years ago

Round off voltage reading in battery display component, add 'V' for volts.

I think a lot of teams are using the rapidly changing battery levels as visual feedback that they're actually communicating with the robot, and rounding to 1 decimal place will get rid of that feedback.

Ah I see.

This seems like a rather poor way of communicating that they are still connected to the robot, though. The way to see if you are still communicating with the robot is to look for the disconnected sign next to the robot.

However, I realize this is not as intuitive as it should be, so I plan to address this with a permanent status label of some kind.
