Re: Recent FMS Update?
Okay, our driver (and our programming student Ben) got it figured out (I'm at work today, so I was a bit nervous about what was going on).

We made one change to the dashboard before this event: we passed some arm control information from the robot to the dashboard so we could view what was going on with the arm pot, the commanded PWM, and a few other things without needing to run through the play button. When they reverted back to the old dashboard from Grand Blanc, the camera feed worked on the field again.

Here is what is weird: the above changes have nothing to do with the camera feed so I don't know why it would have any effect. We were only sending about 16 bytes of data every 50 ms, so it shouldn't be limiting our bandwidth.

More important: why would the camera feed work perfectly fine in our pit but not on the field?
