Re: bridge/cRio communications sporadic

We have had similar experiences. The process we now have in place to always ensure that everything talks is to turn off the robot and unplug our router. Turn on the robot and wait about 10 seconds and then plug the router back in. Then wait for the connection to be made and everything works from that point.

We're using the same router that the rookies were given this year the 160. We bought a whole new control system since we wanted to keep last year's awesome robot demo and fundraiser worthy. We are using a factory reconditioned/recertified game bridge because we couldn't find a new one.

We were going nuts trying to figure out why sometimes it would connect to the wireless bridge and sometimes why it wouldn't. That procedure above is what has worked consistently for us. I just hope we don't have similar issues at the regionals.
