Re: [FTC]: Losing Control During Competition

Great stuff everyone. Thanks for the suggestions.

1. Powerpole connectors from the RIGrunner to the various components but the original DC battery connector (Tamiya?) is still in the mains. It is new and seems stable but that is certainly a possibility. As a rookie I couldn't bring myself to cut these off our two batteries and our charger yet but it's now on the MUST DO list.

2. Control loss was short.

3. We use ROBOTC current release

4. NXT was new this year. No other use than ours for FTC. It's the only one we have.

5. Bluetooth was off. We don't know how to use it anyway LOL I will check this personally since I've been relying on a student for this.

6. I will ask the team about NXT status after we recovered the bot.

7. The FIRST people tried intentionally wiggling the NXT USB connector and couldn't get it to fail.

8. Samantha power last on the RIGrunner. We will change that for regionals.
