Re: DLink / D-Link resets going over bumps! Thoughts?

Last year we had a similar problem with communications. We lost it every time we went over a bump! It is still a mystery for the most part, but I am sure that it was the terminals to the battery. The few times we didn't lose communications were matches where we cleanly redid the leads to the battery beforehand. I'm sure the battery box was also to blame. It was solid and kept a strong hold on the battery, but the whole thing swung around as the robot moved, which probably loosened the leads.
