Re: Intermittent connection on field only

You said you tried running the robot with and without the camera but I'll mention this anyway. At Knoxville we had a similar problem with the robot stopping on the competition field but never having a problem anywhere else. We had very high trip times and a lot of lost packets. We were displaying the camera vidoe on the dashboard using one of the older E09 classmates. It turned out the classmate could not handle the video stream load even though it was only 4 or 5 frames per second. Disabling the video stream brought down the trip times and lost packets and the problem seems to have gone away. Check the stats in the Dashboard Log File Viewer.
