Re: FIRST is really looking into the Einstein problems

As a community of team members and mentors, we're being represented by those going for the Einstein testing. If they need an expert on the cRio, they'll contact engineers at NI directly, and that's a communication we won't be a part of. Likewise for all of the other aspects of the control system.
I didn't expect FIRST to solicit help from everyone,because yes this would be counter productive. I would just ask targed teams/mentors to aid in the investigation and mention this in the updates.

I expected the flow of information to mention experts from the vendors involved being called in, and maybe some senior/well known mentors to be involved. Kristian confirmed that at least the suppliers are involved which makes me more comfortable than I was before.
