Loose Cables

Hey guys,

We have been having a problem recently with the driver station. When we are practicing, our joysticks randomly disconnect and do not work. To fix the problem, we have to disconnect the wire from the phone, plug it back in, and reconfigure the joysticks. This is wastes about 5-10 seconds each time it happens and cannot be an issue during the tournament.

Have any of you guys experienced such an issue? If so, do you know if the problem is a loose connection or the quality of the wire itself? If the problem is the wire, what wire do you recommend to avoid such disconnects?

Below is a picture of our phone setup and wire.

Thanks,
