Re: 2010 PEACHTREE REGIONAL

Al, I have no doubt that you are right. What I'm saying is that the classmate, upon losing the link to the robot, continues to report the last known battery voltage to the FMS log. In my opinion, it should instead report something like 'Unknown', since it clearly doesn't have that data. Thus when we say that based on the FMS logs, the battery retained its voltage throughout the match, we're being at best misleading. With FMS lite we should be able to test that.

The FMS logs in the match at question did show the robot link being lost to the robots in question during autonomous, but not simultaneously. There are many reasons the robot link might fail. We've seen ethernet cables come unplugged and cRios get jostled enough to make a bad power connection drop out and force a reboot as two examples. One is possibly recoverable during the match, the other not. I'm wondering if there was enough startup current draw to pop the main breaker on a robot that was going for its fourth match in about 30 minutes.

And by the way, I am learning something new today - from you and the others in this thread.
