I think we have the problem isolated. The robots spinning their wheels on the FRP build up huge static charges similiar to helicopters flying through the air. Then when the robots would slam into the drivers station walls or arena side rails, they'd do a high voltage ground discharge. I didn't know if the DSes were sending something into the FMS SCCE switches or not causing errors, but I went in the switches logs while you were finishing elims and the recorded error log had no errors for your whole tournament, so it seems the issue is isolated to the DS. The SCCEs are built from industrial hard gear this year from FIRST's great sponsor Allen Bradley and they did a great job despite the static issue. Hopefully FIRST will announce solutions quickly.
