Re: I want to be an FTA
This will be my 4th year as a CSA and FTAA, and I'd like to be an FTA as well. Realize that a ton of work goes into being an FTA. You are there a day early to setup the field and you are the last...

Re: Powering two compressors with one PCM
You can ignore the PCM entirely and use a Y cable to control 2 spikes. Not sure if this would be legal in 2017, depends if the PCM is required. Either way you need to have the pressure switch in...

Re: How old is your oldest robot

Re: Driver station not saving logs
Is there a way to change the save path of the ds logs? I didn't see an obvious path in the program files\FRC DS\driverstation.ini (or whatever it is called exactly).

Re: 2016 MAR Season
Thanks, this is super useful as a CSA. The night before I usually go through each team to figure out if they are a first play, or a rookie as I want to visit them as early as possible.

Re: Andymark shipping and service
The only issue I can recall was getting the wrong part from first choice. We ordered part number like 37, and we got 73. A phone call fixed it, and a few days later we had the correct part.

Re: Engine flickering?
If that fixed it, it sounds like a calibration issue with the motor controller, or possibly using the wrong motor controller object in code.

Re: Roborio bricked?
Power up the rio, and hold the reset button for 5 seconds. This should put it in safe mode. Then try imaging via USB as Alex described above.

Somewhat.
When you use the USB interface your computer will have an address of 172.22.11.1 with a subnet of 255.0.0.0 (might be 255.255.255.0) and the rio will have be 172.22.11.2. IP cameras will...
