Actually, at Brunswick Eruption, we had no connection to the networks for the first 3/4 for matches. So we did a manual override by setting it to AP and connecting the netbook to the receiver.

We have rewired the robot because it was atrocious, but the freshmen who were assigned to the job were told to wire it the same exact way it was before they redid it. So that could be where the problem started. But I don't recall wiring the bridge to the dedicated port in the first place.
and yes, we did pass inspection the way the radio was wired
Twice at Trenton and twice at Philly
