Re: RoboRIO / FMS / mDNS / lessons learned

Here's an example of the PDP fuses working their way out by the time eliminations rolled around.
They were never pushed in all the way.

Properly inserted there should only be about 1/4" showing, and are not removable by hand any longer.
If you can easily remove the fuses by hand, then they are not seated all the way.

Attached are three variations:
- fuses on a robot in Semi-Finals that have worked their way out
- fuses properly seated
- one good/one badly seated fuse to compare
