Re: Errors at Colorado Regional

Our robot was working tethered in the pit but not on the field. Towards the end of the match we would lose connection to our robot. Originally we thought it was the field. However, after many hours of looking it over, we figured out that our PD board was outputting voltage incorrectly and causing all sorts of issues. So the moral of the story is: in all likelihood the teams appearing to have difficulty with the field just had electrical or programming errors that were giving them trouble. The FMS itself was probably not the problem. Because you were able to fix it by disabling your autonomous, I'm guessing that somewhere in there you were calling something that was causing a whole bunch of errors and stopping you from connection to the field.

Thanks to the FTA's and CSA's for helping us figure this out!
