This report is really awesome. Two thumbs up for FIRST because they really did their homework. Interesting a lot of the "Oh it can't possibly be team XXX" turned out to be not the case, and I think it will probably serve first well in the future as the community will probably not jump all over them at the first sign of trouble -- especially if high quality work like this can be expected in the future. It's also a side of engineering (failure analysis & technical report writing) that many FRC kids don't get to experience, so it's a interesting exercise from that point as well.

I'm just glad that the "hacker" is no longer in a position to ""inspire"" students.
