We are worried that this is going to happen at the regional, where we are unable to compete, anyone know a solution to this? Will it happen or is it just an issue with the FMS Lite?

Get out to the field on Thursday during your practice matches whether or not your robot is fully operational. That way you can identify any potential issues and work to resolve them while there is still plenty of time and not much stress.
You have two key volunteers at competitions to help you with these types of issues:
- The FTA will do everything he can on the field to try to get your robot moving on Thursday. On Friday and Saturday, they will be less lenient because they need to get through matches.
- The CSA can spend more time with you off the field to get your robot configured properly. If trying to get your robot working on the field is taking too long, the FTA will likely send you to the CSA.
Between those two, your robot
will be moving. You just need to make sure that you test early and that they are aware of any potential problems as soon as possible.
