I'm going to check that either tonight or thursday when I'm working on our test bot (I'll slip in the 2006 controller).

I find it highly suspicious that Kevin Watson does the amount of development he does on the IFI boards and he hasn't experienced the problem.
I don't, since we didn't notice the 8.2V and "failing bot" issues (and didn't have a reason to look for them) during testing (we were running motors and test chassis systems by the end of week 2), and spent just about 100 hours running variations of autonomous plays without a problem. Something is subtley different about the competition environment that makes everything worse.
