Go to Post In my line of work, we affectionately refer to this approach as "Seagull Engineering". Why? Because we swoop in, flap around making a lot of noise and commotion, leave a big mess of "stuff" behind and then fly off. - billbo911 [more]

Re: Consistent robot flicker every 64 seconds

Hi All.

Well, I narrowed down the symptoms even if I don't know the cause. The periodic glitch only occurs when the DS is connected to the router wirelessly.

That is, if I have the DS computer hardwired to a wireless router (with the DS wireless disabled), and the robot is connected to the same router wirelessly, there is no periodic hiccup.

However if the DS connects to the same router wirelessly (no hard wire) I get the periodic hiccup. I tried two different routers (one old and one really new) and I get the identical effect.

I was wondering if the computer was having a hard time because the Robot wireless network does not have access to the internet, and it's doing something to test the connection once a minute.

The good news is that this shouldn't be an issue during competition.... right
