Re: Team 548 Einstein Statement

Damp,
The three seconds referred to in the report is the response to a specific set of steps taken and observed by the First engineering team testing the Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone at HQ. It is not suggested that this is what action was taking place on Einstein, merely an additional failure using that phone during testing. The alternative testing was performed after it was noted that a 5GHz enabled wireless device had caused some issues on Einstein. It was noted by First engineering that devices have this tendency to 'phone home' once they see a wireless network that they recognize. That is the "repeat interval" listed in that part of the report.
In addition from the report..."Each of these authentication attempts has the potential to cause working communication to drop and a dropped connection to be reestablished between the driver station and the robot. Repeated attempts to connect to multiple SSID’s can result in robots that are drivable and robots that are not over the course of the match."
