Autonomous workking differently tethered in pits, than from feed during competition.
Has any one experienced this???
I don't know the full details bacause I am not on the electrical team, but from what I have gathered the autonomous program that works perfectly time after time on tether, fails to work and cuts out power again and again during the automonous mode during competition.

Now the tether is basically just a simulation of the actual feed from the players station during competition, but just done this way so as to not risk the fear of interference from any other bots in the pits and other non sanctioned official radio transmissions. Right??

So in theory the tethered response should be exactly the same on the floor of the pits and on the playing field, of course not counting such variables as friction against the wheels and floor, and other basic variables like that.

So why is it different???
So confused right now....
