Re: Intermittent connection on field only

Mike,
Conditions for drivers on the field are rarely what they are back in the pit, back at your school or on the practice field. The drivers are pumped up for competition and adrenaline is flowing. The Jag fail state is not ported back to the Crio and therefore not through the FMS to Driver's Station. If your student is at full throttle when the Jag re-enables itself, your DS will be sending the full throttle command to your robot during a stall condition on your drives. (stall occurs anytime the motors are not moving and you apply current)
