Organise battery management for the SR2025 competition

[github-actions]

In order for teams to use their robots at the competition they will need a charged battery. This task is to coordinate the various aspects of this.

Additionally, for when teams arrive at matches with a flat battery, we need to have a stash of charged batteries available for them to use at the arena.

Other points to be decided are: When teams will first get their batteries and how this interacts with robot safety checks. How we will track which teams are borrowing batteries overnight. And, ensuring we have an up-to-date policy for handling of lipos which are deemed to be unusable.

See the runbook for the current safety protocol: https://studentrobotics.org/runbook/competition/team-support/battery-charging/#safety

Required actions:

• Ensure we have enough batteries
• Ensure we have enough chargers
• Plan when teams will first get their batteries
• Plan how teams' battery swaps will be handled
• Plan how the arena will be supplied with batteries
• Plan overnight battery loans at the competition
• Have a plan for handling of sad batteries
