I think the FMS hardware that resides inside the Scorpion Case has been tested along with the PanelView screens that all of the ref's access before the rig was shipped field components and FMS gear. The field components were brand new but the FMS gear is also from last year. As far as I am aware the concept behind the AP controller getting controls from FMS about match information in the pre-start period and then passing it to the AP has remained the same ever since switching to the bridge setup.

This issue has happened on field all across the nation last year and this year. There are 18 trucks plus the one that resides on FedEx HQ and probably all of them have experienced that field issue.

The thing to do now is to go through all of the field data and FTA logs about which field did what under certain circumstances in certain environments. And I am sure FRC Engineering department will be busy all summer preparing a new fix for next year.
