The quarters in Hawaii were definitely infected with spooks! All six robots lost control in our first match for a few seconds near the middle and then lagged for about 15 before ending fine. The second match was fine for about 15 seconds and then we had no control of any buttons for the rest of the entire match. We could drive, barely, but all six robots experienced the same thing. I think the outcome was inevitable but I know I'd be upset if I was on the losing alliance with so many field issues. They seemed to fix it during a long break between quarters and semi's.
