I'm pretty sure you had to plug in your driver stations before your robots were on the field. We worked that system out on Thursday which sped things up enormously through Fri and Sat. The field crew can then make sure your DS is seen by the FMS while the field is being cleared, and it gives them another minute or two to work out any issues with your DS <-> FMS connection. The robots also 'seem' to link up more repeatably when the DS is up first, then the robot comes up.
If your robot link wasn't OK at the start of the match, the field wouldn't have gotten a green light. 1503 also seemed to move ok at first in auto mode, then died in the middle of the field
