Re: Rookie Team Control System Problem

Well, I opened up the digital sidecar and jaguar and there were a couple specks of metal in the sidecar. I do not know what is wrong with the jaguar, I tried powering from another power source, but it just makes a mysterious clicking noise. When there is power on the jaguar and pressing the rest button, the red light will flicker on for a fraction of a second.

After this, we powered up the robot and ran it for a while. We turned it off while we did some other work, and when we turned it back on, one jaguar would always be solid orange and would not work, and the other would slowly flash red. We finally got them to work again by opening them up, where it appeared that there were no metal in, and plugging them back in and resetting them.

What should we do about the broken jaguar? Do a RMA through TI?
