Re: Driver Station Voltage Burnout

We had some interesting experiences with the beta hardware when we were testing the brownout characteristics - it's worth it to try to get a brownout (put in a low battery, push a wall or something) to see what drops out first. Also, if your robot design raises the possibility of a brownout (if you have a lot of motors pulling a lot of power), think about what will happen if a brownout does occur - the solenoids do some weird things, which could potentially be unsafe.
