Re: Powering your USB Hub at Competition
Having both red/black USB hub cables plugged in did not always prevent the controls from failing.
816 is a case in point.
They did everything right, but still died.
Their final solution was to plug just their drive joysticks directly into the Classmate ports, so they could at least drive. They had to give up their kicker and other controls though.
It seems the hub or it's cable is a major failure point and it's difficult to predict if a team will have trouble with it or not. Bring a different model to competition as a safety backup.
My suspicion is it's really a USB cable or connection problem.
