Auxiliary battery/wiring for removal of balls after match.
Consider we build a ball conveyor mechanism that is non-backdriveable and has no door . May we have additional leads coming out of the drive motor, so that when the match is over, the driver/operator can plug in a small 7.2V RC car battery to power the mechanism to quickly (<10 seconds) remove the balls? There would be no exposed wiring that would be cause for concern of a short. These additional leads on the motor would not be connected during the match. The RC car battery will always be kept charged and be kept with the driver and never installed on the robot.
