Re: Field Glitch Caught on Camera

I doubt that it has anything to do with the Auto-Teleop issue. The Team LED Lights are connected to the PLC in the Station Control Cabinet behind Driver Station 2. The robot communication traffic is routed through a managed switch that is also housed in the SCC, but does not interact with the PLC. As far as field Electronics mis-behaving, the Team LED's are probably the least concern possible.

Also, I was going through stills of the video and found one just after 1:48 that shows the field timer still working but the two Team LED displays are 0000. Since the LED displays are wired in series, I am wondering if a problem there may be the issue.

The person who would best be able to answer this is Matt Pilotte, FRC Electrical Engineer.
