Re: Spike Problem

The connectors (sockets) built into the spikes are notorious for being intermittent, and to a lesser extent the same problem occurs on the victors. If you had spikes work properly and then quit working without changing the code you are likely affected by the intermittent connection problem.

Your best bet is to be using new IFI cables. We had intermittent victors this year and switching to new IFI cables from the KOP cables fixed the problem. Last year we had one (new) spike that would not behave and swapped it out.
