Re: Einstein Field issues Handled correctly?

I'm really hoping that because these particular radio issues that affected Einstein were not only so debilitating but also so public (biggest matches of the season and all) that it will really, well for lack of a better word; "shame" FIRST into finaly looking seriously at the issue of connectivity. For as long back as I can remember (before they switched to routers) there have been connectivity issues. Years and years now this has been going on, affecting one team or the other with some field set-ups exacerbating the issue further.

It's just been a running joke, like the old submission process for Autodesk Inventor files (Pack & Go assembly - upload files - files fail to upload - contact Autodesk - Autodesk responds and says since the uploads failed for everyone they'd push the deadline back) until they changed the submission process for this season.

So, again. Here's hoping they take a very serious look at the issue. As far as some of the opinions expressed in this thread; I do think the fault lies somewhere with the consumer routers they're using and I do not think this is a "tainted" win. Every team had to deal with these connectivity issues. They never should have been an issue in the first place, but it happened and there's nothing we can change about that now.
