Re: [E-puck-user] epuck batteries
Thanks to everyone who replied. I found that the solution sent by Stefano was the easiest fix and didn't need any extra parts. Thanks!

[E-puck-user] epuck batteries
Hi, My university recently got a new batch of epucks, which come with the batteries with cardboard on the positive side. Previously we'd only had ones with black rubber on the positive end of the battery. The problem is that these new batteries don't work in the epuck properly, they're very slightly too short to reach both contacts and so don't reliably power the robot. My question is, how have people on the mailing list got around the problem with these batteries, is there some cheap and easy fix? Thanks, Jenny ___ E-puck-user mailing list E-puck-user@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/e-puck-user
