Re: 2009 Peachtree Regional
I believe what I'm about to say should be relevant to Peachtree, but this may have occurred elsewhere as well.
In SF 1-2, our robot would drive. More specifically, our pick-up and dumping mechanisms functioned the entire match, but our drive motors never did. There is no way to know whether or not the Jaguars driving the two cims were getting a signal, but I doubt it. The jags were connected properly before and immediately after the match, when I checked. Back at the pit (after we lost), we immediately tethered and drove the robot. It operated flawlessly. Our team has mixed feelings about why this happened, but I believe it was a field issue. However, it was only the drive motors (which plug into to pwms 1 and 2, so maybe the signal for those weren't getting there?!?!).
Did any other teams have issues with their robot mysteriously work only partially? This has really been bugging me...

And who is to say what is the mean? Do I mean the mean? Or even the average? Or am I just being mean (or average, which could be my mean)? - dlavery [more]
