Re: The 8.2 (or 8.3) Battery Voltage Bug
We were getting this problem also. Unfortunantly it cost us 2 matches at the NASA/VCU regional in Richmond as we were unable to move! We didnt have alot of time to debugg the issue but we will post more as we find it out. When we were on tether it worked perfect, but when running through the competition port we had issues. We will post more as we find out.

EDIT: Al Skierkiewicz was asking some questions and we have answers. We were not running the backup battery charger circuit. The OI was reporting a voltage of 8.2, but the low battery indicater LED was not turning on. This stuck as us odd.

EDIT2: Also, this issue only arised after we went back to an older code base that was based on Kevin Watsons streamlined camera code.
