Hello there,
Unfortunately, as per the rules, any form of electricity (including batteries) is not permitted for use in the Mission.

Here is the line from the rules as it is:
"Electricity: A form of energy that results from the movement/flow of charged particles, electrons to create
electric current. Electric current in any form (static or dynamic) is not allowed. This would disallow the
use of batteries for electric current." (Science Olympiad Division B Rules 43)
"If the presence of electricity can be made visible in any part of the circuit, I see no reason why intelligence may not be transmitted instantaneously by electricity." - Nikola Tesla

I do Circuit Lab, Hovercraft, and Helicopter.
