Re: Driver Station ESD sensitivity

In addition to what Eric said about letting FIRST know about the issue so they can be aware of it for potential future revisions we should also work to find ideas about what can be done to keep the DS's currently in teams' possession working.

The first step to this would seem to be to create awareness of the issue and for teams to then exercise caution and ground themselves before handling the DS.

At the competition perhaps FIRST could assure that the Alliance Station metal structure is grounded and make reminders at the driver's meetings to make contact with the metal before touching the controls?
