Timy and USB

Subsequently to the long email of March 2, 2011 about dropping the USB connection between a Timy and computer:
My best hypothesis follows from the fact that we were providing power to the Timy via a Generator set that had a load governor. I think it did not produce reliable power, and the Timy was not getting sufficiently charged. A result of this could be that it was not putting out the standard 5 volts at the USB port.
I could only recreate the problem by allowing the batteries to get low.
Contrary to those profs who taught us to not change more than one variable at a time, and consistent with having a race next week, I have upgraded all of the Alge software, am using an amplified USB hub, and have bought new batteries. Currently I have no problem.
