Re: Robot Power Issues

A good number of teams experienced this issue last year while traveling over the bumps on the field. (especially robots like ours that did not have a smooth ride over)

We found two things helped:
First: mount the cRIO on some kind of shock absorber. (we mounted all of our electronics on a few layers of anti-slip floor matting. it seemed to work fine)

Second: we noticed that our main breaker was acting very funny. replacing it with a brand new one seemed to help quite a bit. In fact, I personally believe that was our only issue.

Hope this helps!
