Energy Management
Energy management is a very important job. People think it may be an unimportant and easy job to do but it isn't. In the energy management job you're responsible for all the batteries and that everything to charge the batteries is hooked up. All the batteries for the tournament sit in a big cart that has 4 shelves. On these 4 shelves you have to fit the batteries, chargers, and all the cords connecting them. After you set up all the chargers so there hooked up to the outlets and charging the batteries, you have to make a battery sheet that shows the number of each battery and at what time they where used and being charge. The battery numbers look like B14 or B1. If the battery manger doesn't keep a good eye on what batteries he's using he could put in a faulty and the robot won't have any power and you can lose a tournament or a round. It is a very important job.
