Static Discharge Disables Robot
We have been having a problem where our robot will discharge static electricity onto any nearby metal objects after a bit of driving on carpet. I've been thinking about hanging a wire mesh off of the bottom of the robot to discharge static electricity into the field.

Anybody else having this problem? And if so, anybody found a solution?
