And 118 still down. Guess we won't know if it's a Red station issue until the finals. In other news, I'm finding the announcer incredibly insulting talking about the blue alliance putting on a scoring demonstration.....

These constant comm issues are just embarrassing.

I find this whole thing a bit screwy.

Although 16/25/180 are awesome bots, I can't help but feel 118 could have put on a great show. My sympathy to them for the terrible FMS issues they've experienced this season.

This just seems to be the perfect storm. (pun intended)

All we need now is Curie winning.

Dear blue alliance, please refuse to play finals. All teams know it is unfair...

if you look at the FMS Twitter Feed, you'll see one tweet from the first playing of the first semifinal match. Notice that the hashtag denoting the field is "FRCTEST", not "FRCCMP", like it should be (second linked tweet is the replay of that match). To me, this looks like the FMS was identifying itself as "test".

Not being extremely familiar with how the FMS works, I'm not sure how this would affect match operation, but this could possibly be what the field technicians found...

The on-screen scoreboard also showed "TEST". Fixing that doesn't seem to have changed anything, though.

2056 just got the Quality award, good for them. But the problem is obviously on their side, right FIRST?

That sounds incredibly GP. No, wait... it doesn't.

FYI, FMS webpages say Galileo is Red for finals.

Sorry, I may have been a bit harsh with that, but now with 1114 and 2056 dying like never before, I am just a bit confused...

Congrats 233/987/207, our 2012 World Champions!

btw, 2056 lost comms again.

[Mk.32]

2056 died about 80secs, 1114 died at about 60 secs but came back 10-15 secs later.

Disappointing.

[stundt1]

this is sad. really they died.

[CarterM]

This is almost too disappointing to watch.
