Very good point here! Over the season I was told some pretty weird stuff by some FTA/field people that didn't make sense. One time our robot wouldn't connect and I asked him if we wanted us to power cycle. He said, "no, that won't fix anything". After a few minutes he walked off field and I reached in an power cycled and a few seconds after the RSL light was flashing we were connected.

Another time this season our programmer/HP was on the field and one of the FTA's or assistants was trying to check why we weren't connected and he had to explain how the system worked to her. Somewhat scary to be honest!
