AL - thanks for the catch on 'relay' - I meant breaker - Ill will go back and edit last post.

When I did these tests in our lab I used a bench power supply (so I can see the current draw) and alligator clips on the breaker, RC power...

Its possible we have a squirrely connection still on our bot - but dont think there are any intermittant connections on the lab bench setup.

When we first started putting terminals on wires this year I made the pirate noise while I wrenched the crimper. As the students gave me a funny look (happens often) - so I explained if you dont make that noise, the wire will not stay in the terminal. Now all our sparkies make the pirate noise when using the crimper :c)

Also - we sheared the little round fuse on our RC this year when our battery decided it wanted to be 1" further forward than where we had it mounted. That RC is now on last years bot with a hand mod fuse attached.

We are using last years RC in the bot now. We asked the FIRST guru at Cleveland about this during the event, he said there would be no difference.

BTW - scuttlebutt is there will be a whole new control system next year (USB has finally caught up with FIRST?!)

looking forward to it.

-Ken
