control system availability/clarifications

A few details about the RC control system:

- as described in the google doc http://bit.ly/3n4FzO, your machine must hold the control box and battery pack

- these items are NOT included in the size constraints stated in the rules

- the control box and battery must be securely mounted to your machine just before you compete, and must be removed from your machine when you are finished; we will replace the battery and give the system to the team on deck. We recommend using velcro to mate the box to your machine.

- we will have control system(s) available for check-out from the crib starting next Monday, November 30. The GSIs will be responsible for charging the batteries.

- wiring, banana plugs, etc. for connecting your motors to the control box will also be provided; further details to follow before Monday.
