Are you guys going to be able to attend any other regionals or was that it?

We talked about it, but the FMS is so particular about everything. They have it all setup with a kiosk, and the teams aren't supposed to change anything on the router. We couldn't get FTA to budge on much of anything. The fact that it was connecting sometimes was good enough for them to say that the problem was ours and not theirs.
I wish I would have had software to check how busy the channels were. I feel pretty certain our issue was something to do with conflicting resources on the network. That's the only thing that made sense to me why it worked Friday night when no one was there, and didn't work the next morning.
The fact that it worked fine on Friday night, and that we're using such dumbed down code with no features, just basic drive code leads me to believe that the issue is not code related at all. Also, the fact that it runs everywhere but the playing field lets me know that the problem isn't code related.
We're talking with some people about trying to get pushed into the Lone Star Regional real fast.
