Re: 2012 Field Comm. Issue Logs

As Dom has requested, this is Team 23's recap of what happened to our driving situation.

Autonomous started and everything went exactly as planned. No problems whatsoever, everything checked out functional.

Teleop started and the team reached for the controls. The driver of the robot then went to turn the robot around and the robot began spinning uncontrollably. The drive team did initially have control during teleop for a couple seconds at most before the robot began to spin out of control (it appeared to be repeating the command to turn). The moment we lost control, the camera feed on the driver station had frozen and the joysticks were not being responsive.

A field tech came over and advised us to reboot the cRIO. I am not sure if the robot was spinning straight through to the point of rebooting or not. I think it was, but am not entirely sure. Upon rebooting, the joysticks became responsive again, however by the time robot code had been sent and communication was recovered, the match had only 1 second left.

That was the more physical memory of the situation we went through during our last elimination match. If you're looking for any messages or code problems, refer back to DominickC instead of myself as i was merely driving.
