Al,
RE: chargers
People tend to choose a faster charger when they really need more smaller chargers. It is my understanding that the batteries for FRC like to be charged at their sweet spot of about 2 amps. So we bought more batteries. I think the economics support that in terms of battery life, performance, and cost per charger channel. Or at least that is my theory.
It is the Deltran 10 bay 2 amp charger. Available from dealers everywhere. We got ours
here. Deltran PN 021-0134.
RE: telemetry
In my business the issue of what a downstream telemetry link does with bad data is a common discussion. But in this application it seems like it is clearly a 'range telemetry' type of problem. Therefore the classmate should report what is happening at this timecode and not what happened a while ago. I'm clearly speculating but I'm guessing that the FMS system is polling for data without the benefit of timecode info from the classmate ??????? I'm guessing but inquiring minds want to know.
RE: inspection
I will look into the Raleigh thing. I cannot do Atlanta as I will be getting hammered with other obligations.
