tiskippy is an unknown quantity at this point
We actually had the Innovation FIRST guy come and mention the low battery light to us before one match, even though it was a fresh battery. Our controller was mounted on plywood, and we weren't doing anything strange to it...2 analog inputs, 5 PWM outputs, 2 digital outputs, power and radio. I don't really know why, but he told us about problems with the processors if the battery drops too low. Strange... I wonder if it was related at all to all the other equipment problems they were having at the beginning of the practice rounds.
