The 7.1 rule sounds a bit vague, or should I say open to interpretation. I reckon there should be some sort of quantity instead of adequately as, if a newcomer had never used LiPo's or indeed robots before that would be very open to interpretation as to what is adequate.

Case in point: If Dan still isn't sure after all this clarification, how could a newcomer be?

(no offense intended to you Dan, as i'm sure a lot of folk are still unclear, its just that you mentioned it )
