Re: COMM lost way to many times

This sounds like a power quality issue. Bad wires, bad crimps, bad connections, bad barrels all can contribute to this.

I would replace all of the wires from the batter to the radio, especially the black wires that go directly into the radio. Then I would reprogram your firmware on the radio in particular. Inspect your fuses, many people don't notice when they are bad. Drive the robot around at home, drive over bumps see if you can replicate these issues. Make sure all of your wires are anchored down appropriately and nothing can shake loose. Make a good effort to replicate the driving conditions on the field, move around fast and crash frequently.

With how difficult the field is on robots this year, i'm not surprised that we are seeing a rise in power quality related issues on the communications.
