I do not believe it was made known to teams at the Auburn Mountain View District Event. If I am in the wrong I will happily stand corrected, but our team was only given the fix listed above as a possible solution after our last qualification match on Saturday. In previous matches, when we had trouble connecting, we were made to restart our DS laptop and eventually replace the DS with one provided by the field. This sequence of events happened on at least two occasions.
If the above workaround was known prior to the event, why were we not told how to properly connect to the field? Additionally, when we did have connection difficulties, why was this procedure not utilized? If I recall correctly, never once were we asked to power off our robot on the field to allow the DS to connect first when we had issues.
