Re: Errors at Colorado Regional
I noticed this happened a lot at the Dallas regional, as well as Hub City too. We had code that would run perfectly while tethered, and then when we put the robot on the field, we would run into all sorts of issues. I don't know what happened, and I don't know why it did, but I think that FIRST should be a little more transparent with the FMS. Yes, it must be secure, but I know for a fact that there was a driver station that caused more robots to be down than others. I can pull scouting data and show that the robots that occupied this station had problems. And even some scouts came up to me and asked what was going on because they noted it too. It was tough to play qualification matches with this colored alliance, because often we were having to run two robots instead of the three.
I don't want to blame FIRST, but things like this seem a little suspicious to me. And often all I got from asking an FTA is "It must be problems with your robot", Granted, I did sit down and find my errors at our first regional, but there were still several times in which this happened, even after scrutinizing my code between regionals.
