We suspect that we either had a short somewhere, although we haven't located any, or we may have just stressed our drivetrain system beyond its limits - maybe we should have just toned down the physical play a little bit?

I'm just as puzzled as you are. Are you sure the power cord to the gaming adapter wasn't loose, that the connection between the cRIO and gaming adapter is good, and that the your robot battery was fully charged? The adapter reboots itself if the voltage gets low enough.

And again, very sorry for the entire situation in the eliminations teams 610 and 1535. I won't bother typing it all out because you know what I'm talking about anyway.

It's OK. You had a good robot, and we were very proud to be picked by you. Congrats on getting the rookie all-star award, and hope you do well in Atlanta!

Thanks also to 1535. Congratulations to 2056, 1114, and 298; your alliance was unbeatable, and 2056 & 1114 have a great chance of doing well in the world championships.
