Static IP addresses WILL work on the field - you just have to make sure the network is 10.TE.AM.(number less than 20) and the subnet mask is correct to talk to the FMS server.

Re: Connection issues at regionals

Re: USB to Ethernet Adapter For Competition

Re: pic: Design teaser...

There's not actually a lip that high for the ball. That was simply a work plane put through the middle of the ball to help make placing it in the bot easier. There are a couple of 1/8 inch angle...

This is correct if you are using PWM, but for CAN Talons, the constants will be just a number.
Have you gone through and given each Talon a unique ID through the RoboRIO webpage? They may all...
