Re: The importance of testing

We actually (try) to keep 2 checklists for pre-match. One is a no-power test, which is mainly just visual inspection (broken wires, pneumatics closed, physical damage, etc). If we have time, we go for a power-on test of all the systems. I also do a quick test of the control board right before the match once we plug the cypress back in (it gets taken out to increase the classmate charging rate)
