Re: Team 221 Arduino setup and problems
I don't have much experience with connecting the arduino to a FIRST setup, but you don't want to power the arduino off just 5v. If you do then the 5v that it is outputting will be lower and the board may be unstable. Their site recommends 7-12v. This is the case for many of their boards.
