elim field issue?

[steelerborn]

I am not to savvy when it comes to electrical problems.
But we had a similar problem last year with current running through the bot.
What may be the problem is an exposed wire that was touching a metal part sending current through the frame. We had a hard time connecting to the field for all of our second regional last year.

If you guys were running then losing coms this may be the culprit.
Then when the bot goes back to the pit, to try and solve the problem the exposed wire may have been moved slightly, and not touching a metal component. This could have been completely by accident and the problem may never occur again. But you may be out multiple matches before the wire is moved.

I know that experience last year motivated us to mount all of our electronics on thick plastic to eliminate this problem (overkill because it added a ton of weight that wasn't necessary).
