Intel i7 is an unknown quantity at this point
Re: Robot lose power when reverse directions?

We know the crio isn't restarting because the variables that change at runtime are persisting thru the reset, although the lights do flicker. The drop only occurs for a fraction of a second but its enough to make the router reset. Also, the outage usually only occurs when going backward and stoping, not forward, and sometimes it will happen when attempting to turn from a dead stop.

Also, we had the router in the 5v dc converter but we put it in the other thing to test to see if that was the problem

We are using victors not jags.

Thanks for all the input so far. We have been working hard to figure out this problem because just yesterday we ran for 20 minutes+ without this issue. The only difference was we where running on only 3 motors. (hint hint? maybe the current draw things you are saying? 4 is just too much maybe.)
