Re: Restart Robot Code at competition

Things became too busy this past week while we were at the 10,000 Lakes competition to communicate on the forum. So I thought now that it was done I would follow up.

The good news is that the camera never had an issue on the FMS. Why the FMS, starting from boot via direct computer wifi, and running in interactive mode all seem to behave differently is both baffling and of course frustrating. It is completely nerve-racking being a position of having code that you are unable to test and know that it will work in game conditions. But we finished the qualification matched ranked 3 with a 55 OPR so it seemed to work out.

We tried restarting code during practice matches from the DS so that we would know how it would respond. That took nearly a minute on the FMS compared to the 10 seconds it took with a direct wifi connection. So it was much less desirable.

Hopefully we can sort this out for the future but for I was just glad things worked at competition.
