Re: Pre-match Checklist

1675 does their check in the pit just before queuing.

It includes (I'm going off of memory here)
  • Battery Check
    • New battery
    • Battery secured
  • Pneumatics Check
    • Check pressure and all that jazz.
  • Electrical Check
    • Check IO connections(PWMs/Relays/Digitals/etc.)
    • Tighten connections in distribution block
  • Controls/Code Check
    • Reload working version of code, EVEN IF you are 150% sure you didn't work on it since last match.
    • Test drive control
    • Test manipulator control (if safe)
  • Drivers Check
    • Are they here???
    • Do they have their screwdriver? (more on this later)
  • Mechanical Check
    • Tighten any crucial nuts/bolts/screws/things

Yeah, since our fiasco at the Quarterfinals of Midwest, our drivers carry a screwdriver for the distribution block with them, just in case.


(PS: ooh, nested bulleted lists!)
