Re: Odd Electrical Problems at The Championship

We had a similar problem. Our datalogger stopped working, so we couldn't check the voltage during a match, but during our last two matches, our robot would suddenly stop responding to the drive controls.
It looked like it was trying to move, but didn't have the power to move.
We're going to see if we can reproduce this behavior once we get back home, (we were going to test the bot on the practice field after a match where this happened, but it was being taken down) so we have no idea what is causing the problem.

Also, our robot seemed quite sluggish on the competition field compared to when we ran it on the practice field and barely comparable to when we built it. The problem may only appear after the robot runs for a while, which may explain why it worked fine on the practice field, but the problem almost seems to be related to the competition field.

We'll definitely for voltage drops and chain problems.
