The volunteers don't have anything to do with the field system, and can't give you a definitive answer. Only the FTA and FTAA(s) can really help you.

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS.

Thank you.

Stop screaming at field resetters/queuers when your robot doesn't move. Whether it's a comm issue, a robot issue, a field issue- whatever. Only the FTA (navy blue polo with 'FTA' on the back) and FTAAs (yellow vest with 'FTAA 'on the back) can help with those sort of issues. Approach them calmly with your notes on the observed issue and they should do their best to help you out.
