Is any part of your control system broken?

2052 had our ethernet port 2 break off at the competition, so we borrowed one for the remainder.

We then brought our bot to a presentation at Medtronic, and ethernet port 1 broke off.


Prior to competition (during practice), our driver and a handful of other people decided it would be a good idea to practice in our gymnastics gym on top of the gymnastics mats. Surprise surprise, static came along and fried our analog module (I forget, maybe digital as well), and a jag.

It was even better, it fried a digital, analog, and a solonoid(don't know why it was in there, but it was lol)and what I think was two jags, being that a turret jag also only worked in one direction after that, but that could have occurred some at other time.

One of the Ethernet ports on our driver station snapped off at our regional. If we're keeping our old DS for 2010, it shouldn't be a problem, since I recall being able to program the robot with a direct Ethernet connection between a laptop and the cRIO.

Also, we couldn't get our servos to budge. It didn't matter, since we ended up not using our camera anyway.
