The FMS team station log is just recording the messages the Classmate/DS is sending FMS, i.e. the Classmates pushes the messages to FMS just like the FIRST DS did last year. There's a message every ~100ms. Therefore FMS is just recording what the Classmate sends it, if the Classmate is reporting voltage at comm loss, its something the NI firmware guys would have to correct. The log has the match timer in it so you can tell exactly when FMS recieved the Team Station message.

I'll bring this up at the post week one meetings tomorrow....
