Re: [FTC]: Playing Forensic Roboticist.

All:

Welcome to another episode of CSI: FTC. Excellent posts and great detective work.

Phil: Listening to the sounds of the movie you posted, it sounds as if you are manipulating your arm at the time of the "File Error". Maybe there is something that is causing a electric surge on the NXT cable from the motor to the controller to the NXT. Are all your cables okay? Any static issues possible? (I know that's an FRC issue this year). The observed behavior is that something is causing the NXT to abnormally terminate your teleop program. This kind of thing needs to get sent to PITSCO and HiTechnic (and maybe even NI) as this appears to be a problem with hardware causing the fault.
