I talked with some people on who were on the field during elims today, and actually, many of the problems were caused by robots and not the field. I can't tell you which specific events, nor what the specific problems were, but I can say, that multiple people on the field told me some of the problems were not due to the field.

It seems the issue was cRIOs rebooting midmach, which the FMS can't control. The FMS only talks to the driver station, not the robots themselves. The stumping part is how some wifi packets can cause cRIOs to reboot. There just weren't the diagnostic tools to figure it out well, so nobody really knows what happened.
