Re: Wrong Field Measurements and Bad FMS

We can and should expect tape to be placed in the right spot. Unfortunately I think that part of this thread got lost amongst the unfounded FMS complaints.

It also wasn't clear whether the tape was incorrectly placed from the start, or whether the tape was placed correctly then appeared to be incorrect after a weekend full of matches.

This is an easy problem to deal with appropriately. As per section 5.5.7 of the manual, the field will be open for measurements for one hour at some point prior to practice matches starting. Go out on the field, take a look at the small details that you know will affect your robot, and point out any errors that are outside the tolerances to the Field Supervisor and/or FTA.
