Re: Team Fusion #364, Bayou Regional, FMS Woes

We had a few minor latency issues with the Bayou FMS on Friday morning but not after that. Team Fusion had a great robot. It is a travesty they did not get to play! They were definitely robbed.

I agree with the Fusion mentors on this thread, interference of some kind makes the most sense. But I have one (pretty weak) troubleshooting comment - was the radio always mounted in the same location? Did I see a statement about it being mounted "under a motor"? Did you try mounting it high and without any noisy active electronics in close proximity? Were the delays in communications several seconds or 1 minute plus?

Though you replaced the radio many times, did you replace the power and ethernet wiring?
