Russ and Eric if you're watching,
The only issue that FIRST has publicly disclosed is the static electricity issue with the Driver Station. As a CD watcher we know of the following issues:
1.) Failing Jaguars (Luminary Micro to their credit is trying to fix the issue and has been generous in replacements)
2.) Several sidecar issues.
A.) The C6.
B.) RSL lights that don't come on.
Yesterday I was working with team 1973. We ran the out of the box test. We had CIM motors responding to joysticks. We did not see the RSL light come on.
C.) My issue with the cRIO default program or the Side Car where the RSL light indicates the robot is enabled, but there is no PWM signal.
On a related note, it would be nice to know how the competition wireless network will work. Will FIRST have everyone change their gaming adapters to connect to a competition SSID?
There's been a lot of issues going on and no official acknoledgement from FIRST on most of them. This leaves teams fending for themselves (but hopefuly coming on these forums for help.) For instance, should falconmaster have to use team money to replace a defective product multiple times?
With that being said, I commend both of you (Russ and Eric) for your dedication to solving these issues on the CD forum. It's people like you who work your tails off that will make this a success.
