Go to Post I am a firm believer that there is no model that can be transplanted/copied from one team to another and have the same level of success. There just isn't a formula for it. The mindset you should have is: "I know I have made a positive impact on my community". - tim-tim [more]

Re: Field Static Solutions

Midwest was lucky this weekend with a high humidity weather pattern. Static did not look to be an issue. However, a variety of other issues did plague us throughout the weekend.
Draging a ground wire, as pointed out above, can do nothing to drain charge. There is no direct conductive path to ground and the wire or chain does not provide a large enough surface to capacitively couple into the earth below the floor.
My suspicion is that the power connector on the gaming adapter is not made for vibration. A hard hit to the airlock or field border or even robot to robot, could potentially interupt the power connection. It may take some time for the adapter to start sending or reboot on bad collisions.
