Re: Connections at SMR - and Some Corrective Actions

You should also check for errors or inifinite loops in your code that could be consuming resources other than the camera. At Orlando, the robot stood idle for parts of the match because the robot task crashed as soon as the cRio turned on while the driver station indicated that communications and robot code was fine. Reducing the camera's frame rate and resolution may also help.

Since FIRST no longer requires teams to use the classmates, I'd suggest buying a laptop with a little more juice in them (better processor, RAM and battery) as they are far more suitable for a competition environment than the classmates. Make sure they are rugged enough!
