Re: [FTC]: Edison Division replaying a ton of matches today.

I also think that it's interesting that some robots don't seem to have any field reset problems, wheras others seem to be fraught with them.

We caugt a problem during Software inspections that was caused directly be loose pins in the power switch connector. Looked like a coms failure, but it was reproducable by wiggling the wires... Squeezed the pins... problem gone.

I suspect the fasults are just compounding in some robots. For example, when I looked at the replay list (Cool mentor Max did a schedule for the replays), a couple of robots were in two replay matches... seems to indicate that the faults followed them. Coincidental that they were heavy defensive robots... that liked to hand out beatings to others?? Not conclusive... but it made me go Hmmmmm.

Phil.
