I agree. If we assume the field is at fault and we assume the poster after the quoted post is correct. Then the problem would then be in the robots. A whole different and still frustrating can of worms given these were supposed to be the best of the best.
I'm just not sure, given what we have for information, that we can actually have a simple handy term for that someone won't have issue with. Some people feel that the robots being the best of the best should make them untouchable to the issue. I've stated elsewhere I can see how that could very probably be false.
On the other hand, I find it strange that some fields at some events seem much more likely to have problems. I'd like to say with certainty that all the issues are on the robot...in my gut...but we have just too much anecdotal information.
I can say I tried downloading the FMS lite software and frankly, Al, that things a mess. I suppose it addresses the issues it was created for well enough that it was sort of ignored it's polished like a mud pie.
