Re: DLink / D-Link resets going over bumps! Thoughts?

Just like PWM wires in victors, it is smart to hot glue ANY connection on the robot that does not have a positive locking feature that prevents it from coming loose.

It doesn't take much, it's easy to peel off, but it will keep you safe. It's smart to glue the reset button too on the older one since it had enough mass to trigger going over the bump.

We would shake our heads every time we saw a robot go to the fast-flashing (no connection) light during breakaway. 9 times out of 10, it was unsecured connections. Why beat yourself? It's hard enough to do well as it is.
