Can someone confirm these reports?

I can confirm this and they have all seem to have centered around RED Driver Station 1. I know 1712, 11, 25, 1676, and others have all had issues at Red driver station 1 and no others.

1712 has not had ANY connectivity issues in 36 of our 37 matches to date with the only failure today at the MAR championship. Our driver station laptop could not connect to the robot but as soon as we swapped out to the FTA's classmate we had no issue. This of course hurt us in the match as the drivers did not have their normal feedback for shooting but we didn't have any other issues. Returning to the pits we tethered up and had no issues at all with our normal driver station laptop and two different ethernet cords. Unfortunately the pits closed immediately after the award ceremony (huh?) and we were not allowed out to the field to work with the FTA to further troubleshoot/check the problem.

I have noticed a LOT more connectivity issues here at the MAR Championship than I saw at Hatboro-Horsham, Chestnut Hill, and Lenape all with the same MAR field (as far as I know). I'm not ready to rule out that something between our driver station laptop and FMS disagreed but the fact that this has only happened in one match, in one driver station, at one event, and to other teams in the same driver station really makes me wonder.
