Check your Anderson battery connectors

This is some great advice. I was the FTAA at the NYC regional last weekend and whenever a robot would lose communication with the field, the FTAs and I would wiggle-test as much of the power pathway as we could trying to find something loose. I can recall a few situations where robots had either loose Anderson connectors or loose connections between the battery and the wires. We were able to reliably cause reboots by wiggling the cables around, which is what happened during the match when the robot hit a defense.
