Go to Post In my opinion, the hardest part of the competition is not that actual manufacture of the robot, but the design process. It is the enginners that go through the design process all the time that will have the edge in this competition, not the best machinist. - Wetzel [more]

Re: WET610N Bridge at Competition

Last night we were able to confirm the sequence using the FMS Light that a team should use to connect to the field.
1. Ensure that FMS is ready to accept your team – this is indicated by your team number showing up on the field panels. The team members on the field will need to indicate when your team number is displayed.
2. Plug in the Drivers Station and verify that FMS sees you by getting an FMS LOCK
3. Turn on the robot and wait for it to connect.
It appears to us doing this in the lab that if this sequence is not followed you have a high probability of not connecting and will need to start over.

We also believe a lot of our issue in KC was the security button on the bridge that was in the kit last year. We impacted a table last night (not real hard either) and this was enough to trip this and drop out communications on our practice robot. Suggest those that can upgrade to the 610 bridge that the rookies received in the kit this year. As a side note even after we reset the security button the FMS Light was indicating packet loss.
While we still see intermittent data loss it is know where to dropping out.

One thought and we haven't tried it is to bypass the security button on the old bridges.
