Re: Robot heart attack
Last year, week 5 of build season we had a similar problem happened to us. When the robot was enabled the cRIO wouldn't respond to inputs or print out data. We removed the cRIO and tried another one but had the same problem. Next we checked the digital sidecar. We went one by one removing the PWM cables to see if there was any small piece of metal shorting out the board. We eventually found the shaving and once it was removed the robot once again functioned properly.
