Re: [FTC]: Tetrix motor controller weirdness with 4 motors

In our case, we used Bluetooth and have verified at the time of the freeze Bluetooth was still connecting. We verified by turning on the "audible feedback" of the communication. So when it is still connected, the brick beeps. Also, we have two motor controller chains, one on sensor port 1 and one on sensor port 2. It was the chain in sensor port 1 that was frozen, the motors off the chain of sensor port 2 were still functional so we can raise the arm and slider etc. The chain off sensor port 1 is the drive train. That prompted us to replace the brick, thinking sensor port 1 somehow is damaged.
