Field Static Solutions

[Chexposito]

We had both alliance control stations die because someone would ram the stations and the grounding wire preventing the damage of the controls came loose. We went down for like an hour twice because of this. Also on thursday we had an average down time of 10 min. they fixed it for friday and it worked really nicely. Some of our mentors have mentioned that they do have grounders for people to keep you from killing your electronics after your robot builds us so much static electricity. We also had a lot of teams loose the control boxes for no reason. The NI guy who did a TON of work for the design and programing of the control system was really frustrated. Luck-fully for week 2 competitors most glitches have been worked out for you.
