Re: Wireless Packet Drop during competition

It seemed to occur when we accidentally drove our lift down on top of another tote, tipping the robot up and drawing a lot of current. After adjusting driver performance to eliminate the chance of that, we never lost an abnormal amount of packets. It was then tested while tethered in queuing, and we could cause packet loss by stalling our lift motor. We still aren't sure why this is causing packet loss.
Check your PDP fuses
