Thanks to some of the discussion here, it was noted that sagging batteries would cause a brown out condition on the sensors. R60 now allows a team to add a 9472 solenoid module connected to the +24 volt output of the PD to power the line following sensors with a regulated +24 volts. Thank You FIRST Engineering for the great find and fix.
Thanks a ton! I will try this tonight. If it works, I will report back.
