They simply blew it off saying it was "your robot" but I was simply trying to get a fix on what was wrong. I was a mentor for 2389 and we changed EVERYTHING except the receiver. The only reason we didnt change that was time constraints because it would force us to have to reprogram and have another numer assigned. I thing communications is a bigger problem here that what they want to admit. I think there was several teams having the same problems. One time it would be fine, the next match we would loose it. There's more to the story here..........

Oh my gosh I couldn't agree more!! the first couple matches they kept telling us "you guys need to fix your electronics, we're not recieving any voltage" so we asked EVERY SINGLE TIME "ok so what did we do wrong so we can go fix it" and they would always say the same thing "well we're not recieving any voltage from you guys, if you ask someone at the pits they'll tell you" so we asked and they said the same crap. And we got no comm a time or two but they fixed it before the match started. I must admitt it was rather frustrating, eventually the guy told us exactly what we needed to do to fix it so I do give them credit for that.
