Thank you FIRST for your transparency and releasing this extremely detailed documentation to us in the FIRST community. A huge thank you to those who worked extremely hard on creating this report and to those involved in the thorough investigation and testing!

With that being said, what is done is done. FIRST has dealt with said individual, and everyone is attacking him like wolves a sheep. While you do have reason to be angry (especially those who competed on Einstein) what is this solving? We can't determine one's intent and if I knew who was involved I would hold such a huge prejudice towards that team/individual without reason. I'm angry that this happened but at the same time robot hacking was bound to happen eventually and it has crossed my mind over the years (not with malicious intent) but I wondered when the day was when we would see it play out. It is a shame when, where, and to whom it was done but you can't change it. I'm glad FIRST is looking into solutions to fix these problems to eliminate threats in the future.

One thing that stuck out to me was the detailed explanations of electrical/programming issues experienced during the testing. I have a new respect for our electrical/programming teams as even the smallest issue of a loose wire can cause so many problems.
