I have a theory. There have been several events lately focusing on the ideas of errors or mistakes. FIRST Choice failed twice, and a series of omnious blog posts followed. Three glitchy edits appeared in the 2013 manual months after the season ended, in quick succession, perhaps itself an error.
The number 8234 could refer to a
product by National Insturments. It's an Ethernet controller that supports vision acquisiton. In LabView,
error code 57 reads as follows: "This VI was compiled on a platform with CPU features not available on this host (SSE/SSE2). Rebuild the application with SSE disabled to support this target." Interestingly, we're switching control systems in 2015, so this error could pop up. I don't know enough about LabView in FRC to know if this error is ever seen in our purposes.
I'll write more later, just wanted to get this out there before the flood. The theme of threes and glitches / errors has been prominent in FIRST communication. Who knows?
