Static warning!!!

As I said this is for testing only for us. The rule says that the only contact with the floor must be with the wheels provided in the kit.

Again I ask: what rule? So far as I can tell, neither the manual nor the GDC's Q&A responses make a static drain wire illegal.

Actually, that's not what the rule says. You'll be safe if you use this simplification but it's not technically accurate.

Does this rework thing solve the problem or should teams still take other precautions?

Should solve the problem but other precautions wouldn't hurt. It's always good practice to ground yourself before working with/around electronics.

Thank you. I need to show this one to the rest of the team. It took me a day to convince the team to mount the CRIO on non-static materian (wood). They didn't believe the frame would carry a charge.

<R41> should have convinced them in a matter of seconds.
