No one was working on the robot during that time, apart from the battery change. I suppose the warranties are running out  . I just wanted to throw this out to try to keep other teams from spending as many hours as we did trying to get a navigation system work because we were focused on software and ignored the hardware. |
We lost a gyro during competition this weekend because the roboRIO decided to output 12v instead of 5v and melted the cable off the gyro. Another one just didn't work when we got it. I'm switching to I2C gyros or maybe the navX.
