Dear CH,

Besides all the good advice above, you may want to add removal of all power saving features on the laptop running the driver station and dashboard. This was recommended by Omar, a CSA at the Troy MI district event.

Additionally, I moved some of my dashboard variables from the teleOp routine to a periodic 1000 msec routine. This anecdotally seemed to help with some radio dropouts on our system.

I definitely second getting rid of the USB camera unless your drivers really use it in the matches.

Best regards,
