Re: 2011 Oregon Regional

Update your classmate software before you arrive: Driver Station: 02.27.11.00

Update the cRIO firmware to v28 first thing Thursday morning. Come prepared with the updated software.

Get the D-Link radio WPA key done early.

Make sure that the D-Link is powered by the 12V-5V convertor, which in turn is powered though the dedicated 12V supply on the PD. (Not through the 12V breakers). This makes a huge difference on the field. Use the right angle power connector that came with the D-Link. Loss of power to the D-Link will halt you for 60sec or more on the field.
