Re: COMM lost way to many times
Static was not an issue for us this year. Both events we attended had relatively high (for our area) humidity.
In the past we would attach a short piece of chain to the frame and let it drag on the carpet. Only a couple links on the floor were enough.
You should see the looks we would get from inspectors and judges. But, once we explained the logic, they never questioned our approach.
This year we felt that dragging chain was a much higher risk than static build up might cause.
After being FTAA at two separate events, one thing I can say with 100% certainty. The field this year will find and expose any fault your robot has.

I like the way you are saving weight by cutting out the center of the speed controllers. - jcatt [more]
