Hey there. I feel a little out of place as I generally stay away from the electronics part of our robot and work on the mechanical aspects of it. Keep this in mind as I continue with my guesswork. Basically, Two Minute Warning takes several really, really, really rough hits in final rounds in Chicago (We actually had both of our wings bent. That's right, 20 mm extruded aluminum bent.) After a few hits like this, we take a really, really hard one at the end of our autonomous mode. When human control starts we have no radio contact. In my head, what has happened is a circuit board or something couldn't take the hit and shaked or a wire inside bent or something, resulting in it reseting or something to that matter (I told you I tend to stay away from controls stuff). In order to keep this from happening in the future, could I simply either get some foam or rubber gromets to act as shock absorbers between the radio controller and the frame of the robot? If you respond to my question, please explain as much as you can, either what actually happened or what might fix it in the future. Thanks
