This is somewhat true....

Delay was...

The issue was the WPA keys were added after inserting teams in random matches in practice was tested (a typical thing on practice day as most bots aren't ready in the morning). So what happened is the network configured right for this, but kept the orginal WPA key from the schedule. One code line fix, being tested now.

End of day issue was the team kicking the gigabit trunk line jigging the connectors, steps being taken now to remedy that.

Two very complex systems put together for the first time in a real world environment, I thought it did well overall....

More info soon.
