We had problems at the Granite State Regional, as did several other teams. During our first practice rounds, we were losing our drive system. We added a dangling wire (12 ga) to the bot and didn't see anymore problems on Thursday.
On Friday, we started having problems again. In fact, we were re-inspected because at the end of a match, when our drive system was dead, our light DIDN'T go off! It was then that we found out that our "dangling wire" had been pulled off.
After installing about a 1/2 dozen new dangling wires, we still had one more occurrence - during our elimination round arggh.
BTW, the inspectors told us that we should hang the wires off of the robot. It will be interesting to see if that is consistent at all the regionals.
