2012 Field Comm. Issue Logs

[catsylve]

During the St. Louis Regional, 1985 experienced what seemed to be connection issues throughout the entire first part of the competition. Those issues turned out to be a hardware problem. We went through the process of replacing our classmate first, then our entire power distribution block. When these did not fix it, we had to replace the CRio with a replacement, although the one we had been using was a brand new one. This completely fixed our problems and we returned the CRio to NI and they replaced it still under warranty. It made for an incredibly frustrating day, but literally our connection issues turned out to be from a bad part. All of this did happen after the firmware issues with the radio were corrected.
