Fun, quirky battery data challenges for FRC teams—because who doesn't love random stats?

About the Competition

Enter your robot's battery data from any official FIRST Robotics Competition match in 2026! All data must be collected using the Playing With Fusion Battery Fuel Gauge (BFG).

The BFG automatically logs precise Ah consumption, RMS current, peak current, and more—perfect for these silly-yet-scientific categories. Match timing is estimated by the BFG based on current draw (it won't match official FRC timing exactly),

Winners announced May 6, 2026!

Important Notes – Safety First!

This is a fun side contest only. Never jeopardize your match performance, alliance strategy, robot safety, or FRC event goals just to chase these awards. Prioritize safe, competitive play at the actual event—these stats are just extra entertainment!

The goal is to highlight the awesome capabilities of Playing With Fusion's FRC products, especially the Battery Fuel Gauge, while having a laugh with some random battery trivia.

How to Enter

• Compete in any official 2026 FRC event.
• Use a Playing With Fusion Battery Fuel Gauge to log battery data during a match.
• Submit your data:
  • Via the roboRIO's onboard web interface (easiest!), or
  • Manually upload your BFG JSON battery data file below.
• Multiple submissions per team are allowed (and encouraged for some categories!).
