Hi All - Our team (4318) ran the Maryland Howard County 1 Qualifier yesterday. I was Lead Inspector and overall "get all the robots working guy". Happy to say that all teams ran, though a couple missed the morning. However:

we made a recommendation to teams attending the qualifier that they upgrade to version 1.5 of both the Driver's Station and Robot Controller Apps. We had a number of bots with software issues. As with any qualifier, it was very difficult to ascertain root cause. Mantra was: "Get the robots running . . . "

The two things I did note, is we got a couple of robots running by down-grading both DC and RC Apps back to 1.25. One of these same bots had lost joy stick control. The other was too much of a mess to blame any particular item. There were a couple of other bots that seemed to have joystick issues, but ending up running.

As I don't have a lot of data, I was wondering if others are seeing any issues with V1.5. I am asking for selfish reasons as out team is running 1.25 and we are/were planning on upgrading. We have been very stable running 1.25. In advance, thanks.
