Don't need to demagnetize

After reviewing the situation and realizing that whoever said it was magnetized was wrong, we have dropped the notion to try and demagnetize the battlebot. On to solving our other problems!

In search of a demagnetizer

In our search to prolong motherboard life (this is our second replacement for the ISAAC 16), one problem we found was that our battlebot frame had become magnetized from the welding process, and we believed this might have an adverse effect on our motherboard performance. We began looking into how to demagnetize our bot and found that we needed a degausser. Some we found where here: http://kanetec.com/Demagnetizers.html we'll see what we end up with.

Not Again!

Our motherboard on the ISAAC 16 robot controller motherboard has broken again. When powered up, the light pattern seems fine, except it does not communicate with the ISAAC 32 controller station. Also, when you hook it up to the program port and attempt to load new code it gives me a "no BASIC stamp modules found" error. Sounds like the exact same problem we had not more than a month before, they'll probably repair the Scenix processor again, which will rack up another $150 or so bill.
