Anyways, congratulation to all the winners out there. It was a fun 3 days.
Thanks for sharing the issue. Last year, team 1795 was out of commission for 4 matches due to communications problems with the competition field. We tried to diagnose the problem Friday night after the qualification matches ended on the competition field to no avail. Right as we were about to pull out of the field, on a whim, we pulled out the solenoid module from our CRIO which mysteriously solved the problem and we were able to play a few rounds on Saturday. Robotics can be a tough game!

On behalf of team 1795 I too congratulate all the winners and thank to our fellow competitors at the Peachtree Regional for their gracious professionalism.
