Go to Post I got something totally different from my FIRST experience. to me the spirit of FIRST is all about sharing. during the 6 week build period, you share yourself with the other people on your team. at the competition, you share your creation with everyone who watches your 'bot play the game. - George1902 [more]

Going disabled changes the cylinder position

Good Morning-

This time I didn't hook the spikes up to the digital IO's in- but instead up to the relays.

When I flip the disable button on the OI the cylinders fire. They then go to that state and stay there- I can't change their positions and get the expected null movement everywhere else.

I'm terribly worried as, this year, I am actually scared of our robot. Safety FIRST!

Suggestions where to look? I initially set the spikes to 0, and only after a complicated button press do I 'latch' them open.

Jason
