Re: cRio Constantly Rebooting

It's not out of the question, but a week+ of practicing (often for longer and/or harder than during a real match) and then perfect operation on practice day suggests, to me, that the issue is elsewhere. If it's not electrical, or somehow code/firmware related, then the only other possibility is that our bolted frame is losing its stiffness and causing the motors to work harder during turns (though the robot doesn't jump or otherwise seem to struggle at all to turn).

Besides, I don't believe that Travis is running a 6 motor drive, nor are either of our teams' issues happening as an obvious result of pushing matches (it happened to us less than a minute into a match where we hadn't even touched another robot). We also ran one match with just the 4 CIMs (still geared at 13 fps, though) and the issue didn't go away.
