Re: Control a vex with a laptop?

Before chunking it, try reloading the master code (the .bin file). Our annual summer camp was this week and there was a robot that would not connect to the OI at all, and after downloading the master code and the user code, it worked fine. I'm not sure why it went bad, but it did. Also some controllers would forget their code as well.

You sound pretty smart with programming and computers, so you have probably already done this, but I thought I would give a shot at helping you.
