We had this same problem. The robot would flicker on and off as we drove. The main wire going into the distribution block was the culprit. It had come loose and would lose contact when bumped . A very quick fix by screwing it back in.

It was very sad when I saw you guys just sitting there. I honestly think you guys would have won Arizona. 1726 is one of my favorite teams this year. Viva las launchers
