Re: Digital Sidecar Ports are dropping out.

Interesting, we think we had a similar problem during our practice rounds where the motor would only run in one direction. As a rookie team we just used one DSC running two Jags controlling CIMs and two servos. We thought we had a terminal crimp problem, but after redoing 5-6 terminals we still had the problem. We were about to change out the DSC when I noticed a 1/4 inch metal shaving tangled in a pin area. Once we removed the shaving the motors worked. Makes me thing that we should mount the boards upside down to prevent the metal shavings falling into the components. I guess then all we have to worry is the connectors from falling out. I had seen a few teams mount their electronics vertically. Just a thought for next year.
