Re: Team Fusion #364, Bayou Regional, FMS Woes

Despite our hopes and expectations following a full four and half minutes of connection in the morning, Team 846 was unable to maintain our connection to FMS throughout any of our nine matches.

In the morning, we had a few minutes on the field with FMS to test communications, along with another robot. Though things appeared to magically work following changes to task priority in the code, the same (deployed) code did not work in the actual match with six robots on the field.

It is probably useful to note that, according to FMS logs, less than 10% of matches at NYR ran without at least one robot dropping communications.
