I agree. There are a lot of pieces of the system that can go wrong, and the only way to get a stable competition environment is to have a way to get solid data on a real field. I intend to bring some network tools to view the field at the off season competitions that my team is going to, so that I can take some measurements, and get data. I *believe* the network configuration is part of the problem with the field. Stories of robots turning off their cameras, and have connectivity issues go away isn't proof, just more anecdotal evidence. I also believe that the DLINK is a weak link.

It would be nice to get to the point where the doubts about the field network can be laid to rest. It *may* just be a robot issue, but as long as we don't have data to back that assertion, it's just opinion.
