Re: Robot loosing communication when switching directions

I apologize for the lack of communication on my end. I actually had one of the members post this up for me and I never found the actual thread.
But yes, thanks to Mr. Reffler, we did do some troubleshooting, as he said.
Now, there ARE 3 Bane Bot Motors on the system, but I have no idea when they were ordered, but they were definitely before the 2011 season.
We are currently off of school for the week, but once we get in, I'll switch the radio over to the dedicated port and check our motors for the case short.
I'll update you guys once I can do the few tests and possible fix, now that I know where this thread is.
Thank You All Very Much For Your Help!
UPDATE
Now that I think about it, the Bane Bots Motors are the unlikely cause of the problem, because they aren't running when the radio resets itself. It's the CIM Motors that are the most probable cause.
@Ether, could you please explain to me what you mean by a 2.4X reduction? We are using 8" Mecs and I believe the ratio is 1:3 or some absurdly low number.
UPDATE
btw, to answer Mr. McKaskle's question, we do get connected back to the robot, but after a good 5 minutes. It's definitely a radio reset. Furthermore, we are using Java and running cRIO image version 28
