We asked that question to the FTAs. They told us if they stop the match then no match log files are created. So they kept the match going to collect additional data to help determine the root cause of the problem.

They told us before the third match that they would stop it early if it happened again since they weren't going to learn anything new by continuing with the match.

The second time the issue showed itself slightly longer into auton (maybe 6-7s in), it almost seemed to be some sort of interaction between our CheezyVision timing and the field....since both times it seemed to occur right when we selected the HOT goal. We were going to stop using it, but the FTAs wanted us to keep everything exactly the same.

We ran the same auto for about 8 qual matches and every single elim match....so I don't know why the outcome would have changed.

It'd love to know when the true root cause is determined and see the data that proves it.
