Re: Battery connected backwards to robot

The status lights on the PDP and VRM did not turn on after the incident. The PCM's status light was flashing green and orange. We checked both the 20 and 10 amp fuses on the PDP but neither had popped. We managed to replace the PDP and VRM with ones from an old robot and the speed controllers, radio, Roborio, etc... all ran as if nothing had happened. We did not have a spare PCM to switch in the robot was operational minus pneumatics.
