 ====== Power budget/usage ======
+The Otter is battery powered, constraining the duration of missions it can perform. A power budget is given
+in the table below, showing the worst-case power usage for each component. The
+total capacity of the four batteries is 3660Wh, resulting in a worst-case duration of battery operation of
+Wh/833.762W= 4.39h. As can be seen in the table, the motors dominate power consumption, and
+actuation should therefore be limited for long duration missions.
+^ Description ^ Hardware ^ Voltage      ^ Current       ^ Watts          ^

+^ Total ^       ^ ^        ^ 833.762 ^
+Note that the power usage of the hydrophone is based on the TBR700 battery usage of 6 mA at 3.6 V, and
+the TBR700RT may use a some small amount more.
