Maybe FIRST should set up all equipment at the team events rather then rent it out to the team and let the team set it up. Thats my opinion unless FIRST actually helps set up the equipment. Anyone Disagree or Agree.

With the setup which FIRST was sending to the event sites this year, it's really quite simple to set up. Or, at least simple enough that the extra cost of sending a FIRST staff member to the sites to set things up would not really make much of a difference. The only real problems this year that could occur with the setup were
-loose cable within the field enclosure(would affect possibly an entire side)
-bad competition port cable(normally recommended change out at lunch each day - would only affect one station)
-bad db-25 going from the master controller to the field(would affect an entire side)
-too many fluctuations in the power supply(would most likely affect everybody)
The way the kit is shipped has channels and other settings all pre-set, and all that needs to be done upon arrival at an event site is plug everything in....
