Re: Power Converter

I'm sorry...

My worst experience in FRC was telling a team that the reason that they lost the deciding match was that they had wired their router in a manner similar to what Marshall proposed.

It was 1 to 1, and the winner of the match would be regional champion. Halfway through the match, they were up and looking to win... until they got the dreaded no comms error and froze for well over 30 seconds. The other alliance pushed the advantage and won. A replay request was made, and I was the guy who had to tell them that the fault was in the router power wiring. It had worked perfectly well through the entire regional until that deciding moment.

It was technically the correct call, but I've lost a good bit of sleep over it since.
