Re: The 8.2 (or 8.3) Battery Voltage Bug

That bug hit us once and disabled us for a round at PNW, but we have found a way to avoid it. When we turn our robot on at the beginning of the round we have someone at the OI looking at the battery voltage to give us a thumbs up or down depending on whether it is showing ~12 or 8.2. If we get 8.2 we just power cycle (not just reset, because that screws up the camera). It saved us at least once later on.
