To everyone else, I know the hacking theory is a bit out there, and it is possible FMS was being a total butthead of a system. On the first day of practice matches they almost made us switch to the 2009-2010 gaming adapters because the field failed to connect to the new ones for a good 8 hours.
Of course, it turned out that the wifi in the gym there was interfering with FMS.
And to anyone who was at FLR, I really hope none of you tried to connect to the "Free Publlic Wifi" adhoc network.

This too happened to team 3467 on Friday. The reason for this is when the voltage drops too low the cRIO will shutdown and restart to conserve battery power. We were out for about a minute before we started moving. This is one of the reasons that I will NEVER hit the stop button unless the robot is smoking or running about erratic.
