Re: ARENA Fault

To take a shot in the dark here, there has been a major problem on the Driver Stations this year. There has been problems of the Joysticks saying that they are connected but not responding, most times the I/O board will be attached to the hub and be draining too much current for everything connected to the hub to remain operational. There have been some cases where it has happened with just joysticks connected to the hub, there's been multiple solutions thrown out there to be tested to solve the problem. Now, relating to your particular situation there is a chase that it was a field problem, it plausible, but by some chance it is also probable that this lack of Joystick response to the Classmate is the culprit, and this problem does not appear on the log.
