 I think there is much to be learned from working in teams, and team projects, but even more when you go out on your own some time for something you are truly passionate about. - paul_v [more] |

Re: 2007 tether and program cable question
Based on our team's experience, it's also a good idea to have a short sacrificial cable off the tether port that is not screwed down. Our rookie season, we had a robot runaway on tether, and nearly ripped the tether port off the RC when the OI carriers failed to keep up.
This year, we used a short bit of ribbon cable with serial connectors on both ends, and ty-wrapped the ribbon cable down to the electronics board on the robot to make sure the cable would take the strain, rather than the RC, if we had a similar problem. (We also improved our programming to reduce the likelihood of the robot going rogue on us  ) |
