Several 1/2 hour delays at Palmetto. The FTA had a couple of the netbooks and they were substituting the teams netbooks and laptops to get the matches going. If this happens to you, check your joysticks before letting the match start (IO tab). We had an alliance partner think his robot was dead at match start; but I happened to notice their game pad was seen by the new netbook at JS2. I got them to dragged it up to JS1 mid match and they were going again.

I wonder how many of these netbooks are also the only programming computers, and are hooked to the internet and windows updated. I have banned our DS computers from attaching to any network other than the robot radios. DS updates have happened only via USB.

The FTA was also going pit to pit asking about programming environment, NetworkTable usage, and camera usage. We used networktables last year, and never could get that code to compile with the 2013 WPILib (pushed to off season). So there were a lot of changes there. During build season, we had lots of shop comm issues that seemed to go away when we yanked all the NetworkTables stuff out of our code.
