It was like an hour delay before everything was running again.
Nothing special, but wierd  and we lost |
This problem was apparently due to one team using a battery to supply power to their DS. The battery remained in the circuit when the competition port was connected. It appears some field components were damaged by this. Fortunately we had spares.

Removing too much of the challenge removes too much of the accomplishment when you solve the problem. Removing too much of the challenge removes too much of the innovation in the solutions... removing too much of the challenge removes too much of the fun.
