Re: [FRC Blog] Einstein Report Released

Everyone,
Now that the report is out, I urge you to read it in it's entirety, twice. Then sleep on it. Please do not cherry pick from specific parts of the report and draw conclusions about the system, the robot or the hardware in general. Note that each team is handled separately so that you can understand specific issues that occurred during the matches on Einstein. Please do not generalize a statement from a specific team report to indicate this occurs for all robots. (e.g. The Crio reboot time for Team 233 only was found to be 24 seconds.) Also, I urge everyone to stop using the generic term "communication failure" to describe the Einstein issues. The report is detailed enough that using that term is not descriptive of what actually occurred.
I would like to personally thank everyone involved in the Einstein weekend investigation. Each person was committed to finding answers, sharing data, and coming to a conclusion that would be of help to all of us. This will be one of those high points I refer to when asked why I continue to participate in this organization. There is a great group of special people involved. Special thanks, of course, need to go out to Bill Miller and Frank Merrick and all of the First staff who worked so hard since St. Louis to insure we continue to have a quality competition. Thanks to Jon Dudas and the FIRST Board for supporting this investigation and their continued commitment to excellence.
