Re: [FTC]: FMS in Atlanta. Good or Bad?
For one match, our laptop was out of battery so we opted to run our entire alliance on one laptop (as opposed to the field's FMS). Really, really, epically bad idea. Both robots lost connection right as autonomous started.

But apart from that, we didn't have many problems. I think that a lot of the problems that we did encounter are inherent in the control system and or field software, and it would be great to see them fixed before next season.
