Re: Checking out radio during competition
I REALLY think there should have been an area to test the radios. We would have gone much farther into the finals (if not won) if we had been able to test it.
First match of ours in the Finals, the radio failed, we tried switching out the radio, putting it higher up on the robot, switching out the controller "brain", and we checked every wiring system. The radio system just didn't work. We ended up having to call in a replacement team for ourselves and they didn't have enough height to get up the ramp at the end of the match. We sat back and did nothing as our alliance lost.
And still we dont know what's wrong with it. Next time we'll get to test it we'll be starting practice rounds. And if we can't get the radio working by the end of the first practice round, all we'll be able to do is wait for the next practice round to try again. If we had a way to test if it was working, we could have possibly avoided losing so soon...
