1064's controller problems
Team 1064 did indeed experience problems in St. Louis with our modem. We had lost communication in a couple of matches and could not figure out what had happened. The basic error light came on and it was fixed with the reset button, but it was still a problem. So we looked over everything in the pit and upon instruction from the head Innovation First guy, took it to the back of the arena and powerd up via radio. We found no problems at first, but when an engineer from team 71 that was helping us find the problem shook the model around a bit, we experienced the problem we had on the field.
The strange part about this is that in Chicago, with the same modem (new cable that got replaced in St. Louis), we experienced no problems whatsoever. We took harder shots in Chicago than in St. Louis too. So I'm not really sure what happened there. Maybe we passed our misfortune on to you guys somehow. Hope it is fixed for you before Houston. Good luck there!

Successful teams - in almost any aspect of life (i.e. not just robotics) - don't make excuses and assign blame when something goes wrong. They improvise. They adapt. They overcome. They correct the problem and move on. - dlavery [more]
