Well, the issue you run into with training some volunteers is that they'll shake their heads "yes" that they understand everything you've just told them but didn't listen to a word. And some volunteers are just above awesome in how well they handle things
We try to make things like the robot match logs (which by the way was never easily available from IFI) as intuitive as possible, its in the training, why they don't get it I don't know the isolated reason.
BUT, in Match Review, in FMS, when a match is completed (i.e. commit score has been pressed for that match) the robots listed for that Match will turn into either a blue or a red button (depending on alliance, if the match is "not completed", the bots are just listed on a white background), press it (in Match Review) and it pops up the robot telemetry log for the match. The log only records while the match timer is running.
Bots can drop for a number of reasons during a match, hard to say any 5 things are the possible reason. Could have to do with bad code (seen lots of stops in code), low batteries, loose connections, radio placement, the Static discharge issues, etc.... The log does record the FMS connections status alongside the robot telemetry, I've yet to find data that shows FMS connections dropping when robots did (i.e. how we isolated some of the DS issues so quickly), all field equipment runs QOS logs. Telemetry now is still somewhat limited to just communication stuff. I had a talk with some NI folk the other day about bringing out data on every resource a team is using on the cRios and then figuring out a way to distribute this to teams post events. We have big plans for FMS, time and resources will tell what comes to realization.
I think this thread is flying off the track now, if you guys want to start an FMS technical thread we can, we talked about one in the official FIRST forum, but I don't know if anyone would pay attention to it there
