It may or may not be the same as what other teams experienced. Saying the issues was "on our end" is the same thing teams have been told all season. "Our end" doesn't mean "our fault" or that we had the ability to fix it. We worked in our quarterfinals matches, but we don't know why.

Just to add a bit more information to the mix:
Although we certainly ceased to function in ways similar to the robots on Einstein during a couple of our matches, at least two of the matches in which we ceased to function were certainly caused by problems at our end (In Qualification 9, the joysticks didn't work, and in one other match, the main breaker tripped. We aren't entirely sure as to the cause of these problems, but they did not recur and they certainly weren't the fault of the field). As for all the other times we didn't function, we aren't sure why, but either it was the same as Einstein or it was a different problem. If it is the same problem as whatever happened on Einstein, then we know that we aren't alone in having the problem. If it is a problem with something on the robot, then that means that we may be able to debug it with our own resources. Just so long as FIRST is trying to find a fix to the problem, then I am satisfied. And given the email sent by FIRST earlier, it appears that I am satisfied
