Re: 2012 Field Comm. Issue Logs

We're not sure what the problem was exactly for our robot during competition (Team 2502) and we didn't get to find the exact reason it didn't work, but we did fix it.

First, the radio was set to auto rather than bridge. For competition it needs to be on bridge, but it seems that for other testing (such as in the pits) the radio should be on auto.

Second, the radio was right next to our drive train motor and clumped around a lot of wires. So we moved that up farther so that it could be seen from over the ramp.

Last change, we made a slight hack to allow faster operator control loops. Which meant only putting drive train in the operator control loop, but creating a new thread to handle everything that would have been in operator control.

Note on the last change, our graph before this change was showing very long loop time (green line) and after the change it decreased drastically (of course). I'm not sure which of these things could be the issue, but I would double check these.
