Where was this field from? Was it NYC/CT? Internal MAR field? Rutgers field?

I was quite shocked to see the comms issues after seeing so few at Hatboro-Horsham, Chestnut Hill, and Lenape. They appeared to be pretty random throughout the event and didn't seem to plague any one team (1676 aside). 1712 had one issue where our driver station laptop wouldn't link up with the robot (FTA's classmate fixed that) but I'm 99% certain that it was on our side with the laptop. As I never spent any time troubleshooting an issue I'd be interested to hear from other teams that had issues and if they repeated or if it was just a one time occurrence.

I'm pretty sure that this was not the MAR field and was one of FIRST's. What other events the field was used at I do not know.

Also wanted to thank 869 for webcasting the event and recording it as well. It isn't broken up into easily digestible chunks yet, but if you missed any of the MAR Champs action it is available at http://www.twitch.tv/powercord869/vi...ast_broadcasts
