Continued from above...

We drop packets, lose communication multiple times. Shouldn't this be enough to prove our point that it was not us? It ran fine with no one else there, but didn't run at all when people were there? And again, we were never offered the alternative router to use, and when Brandon Higgs asked, we were denied use of it.

Here's the second match of the day. Same code, but now we're using the classmate.



Nothing had changed. When we missed those balls during autonomous, it was because we lost communication with the robot... We maintained teleoperated for approximately 15 seconds before we dropped. Later in the match, we regained control for a few seconds. Then the match ended. After the match ended, we lost communication for a few seconds, then regained communication.

Our third match Saturday was bypassed due to an electrical problem we created between match 2 and 3 while replacing our 12V-5V converter. The router was never powered on, and we were bypassed that match.

Here was our fourth and final match of the day. CAN has been taken out at this point. We're running basically bare stock code. No camera, no CAN, no closed loop control. We had kit-bot programming in our Mercedes of a robot.



We still dropped communication like crazy and didn't maintain control during the match.

Finally, we ran on the practice field in front of the FTA guy that was less than helpful to us for 20 minutes, scored 30/32 balls, and had two small glitches, but they lasted no longer than a fraction of a second and we regained control. We places our 'Mercedes' code back on it, and used the Dell again.


We're still reviewing data and trying to piece things together.
