Re: Losing connection when ramping over defenses

Check your main breaker to make sure it isn't bad. There are a couple each year... With the bad ones, you can tell by lightly tapping on the red button while watching the LED's on the robot - with a bad one they'll flicker.

My team's main breaker was bad, but in a different way- the lever inside that lets you turn it on was broken. Brand new, out of the box for may be a day. It was the only one I've seen broken like that. Fortunately, we had a few spares sitting around
