We were having some initial problems with one of the servos that release one of our ramps to fall down at Bayou. It seems that there is a short period of time between autonomous and human control when the servos are without power and this would cause one of our releases to disengage. Anyway, in a couple of our early matches (before the problem was diagnosed and fixed) we would take off under driver control and BANG one of our ramps would deploy in the middle of the field leaving us no choice but to return to the home zone and sit and wait out the match ready for an alliance partner to climb up. We were clearly larger than 72”x72” in the middle of the field but there was never a penalty called against us. We were surprised, but then again, there was a lot going on at the Bayou that should have been called but wasn’t. Fortunately, we think our ramp/release problem is now fixed and we should be ready to go in Atlanta!
