Re: Who did NOT have comm problems in Waterloo regional?

Yea, I tried powering the robot on and jostling the gaming adapter's power cable on either end and it didn't shut down even temporarily, and the ethernet cable between gaming adapter and cRIO seemed solid as well. The battery started off at around 12.4V, which is generally how high our chargers get them, before the second match IIRC so it wasn't a dead battery.

EDIT: Oh yea, we did notice our voltage dropping incredibly low under load though - as in from 12V to 8V just from driving forward at full speed with our compressor and vacuum both not running. It was enough to significantly dim our RSL. So we suspect that we probably damaged a CIM by overstressing it with how many times we would have stalled it, and it's drawing too much current.
