2. Wire whisker is touching the opposite polarity on the power supply wiring at either the cRio end or the PD end.
3. Power wiring is not inserted into the connector properly, a tug on the wiring will show this problem.
4. Rare manufacturing defects have been observed on the main breaker. while the robot is thruned on and booted, trying lightly tapping the red reset button on the breaker. If the lights on the robot blink, replace the main breaker.

Yesterday we tested for all of these, we replaced all the connectors from the CRIO to the PD board, we tried shaking the CRIO to get it to reboot, we also tried the tapping on the reset, and pulling on the wires. I think what we will have to do next is test the PD board connections to the motor controllers and all of the breakers. We also put in two new vector motor controllers this week and our mentor also had us wire the fans to a 30 amp slot on the PD board.
