Does anyone who has built the ramp using the HDPE been experiencing static discharge to the robot? We have been able to reproduce a condition as the robot transfers from the ramp to the HDPE of significant arcing to robot metal parts. The static discharge wreaks havoc with the custom circuit and we are afraid that other damage may also result from the severe arcing.
The teams that have lost speed controllers, is it possible you have damaged the controller with a static discharge?
Let me know what you see during practice.
Thanks for any info...

Does this count as an external energy source??? lol... j/k


But, yeah, static can be rather hazardous... might want to look into enclosing/insulating that custom circuit.
