2415 programmer here in response to why our robot could not compete in the last two matches. I'm trying to figure out the same thing, but here's what we know:

- After our last match we attempted to do a systems check and we noticed that the our robot was communicating (i.e. we could ftp it, and the little light on the driver station that says communication was green), but there was no robot code (the driver station light was red).
> We know that the code was lost between the time of our last match,
> and the next time we turned it on.

- We then tried reimaging the cRIO. It didn't work. We got a spare cRIO from the spare parts table and reimaged that. This time, the code loaded up once and crashed. We were excited because the error we got was IOException, which means there was a file that our code was referencing that we didn't put on it. We loaded our file, rebooted the code, and all of a sudden we couldn't see the code (driver station light was red).

At that point we had to forfeit.

Some other details:

- We use java image version 47.
- We use SmartDashboard. It's been somewhat glitchy, and I've heard
others having issues with it.

If anyone has a clue what could be going on, hit me up. At least writing all of this out helped me think it through.
