The game is rough on robots, and that causes issues. Its hard for me to speak on any specific issue without seeing it myself, especially considering many issues have similar symptoms with vastly different resolutions. Overall, we should be praising the control system for working as well as we saw this year with such a rough game.
Absolutely agree with this. We didn't have issues on the field like radios in the wrong mode, the dreaded "Christmas tree" (where someone was drawing too much bandwidth, effectively crippling the field), and they worked very well once connected. Some teams had radio reboots, just like every year, but we could usually pinpoint the cause to loose wiring. Just make sure your connections are tight this year.
