Warning about mounting radio
We were chasing a communication issue all day Friday at Atlanta. Our robot randomly lost connection during 3 of the 5 matches. The modem would have a blinking green security light and would would work fine once we reset power. We tried a new radio and new ethernet cables, none of which seemed to help.
Saturday morning we realized that due to how we mounted the radio (in a corner with face against our frame), a hard bump would cause the button on the front panel to be pressed, resulting in the radio trying to automatically connect to a network.
Lessons learned, Murphy's law is still in effect, and don't mount the radio where that button can be easily hit.
