Re: Robot heart attack

Maybe a dead digital sidecar, or even worse, a dead cRIO. Some thing similar happened to our robot last year. During the last elimination match, our robot executed the autonomous "properly" and we, lost full control of the robot. When we checked our robot, we found that our cRIO was toast, but a computer instead of a piece of bread. Thankfully, we were carrying an extra cRIO with us. That saved us and got us into, I believe, the quarterfinals.
