Re: Field Fault

Weird control symptoms like that can be caused by the Driver Station getting confused about which joystick is which. That shouldn't happen, but it might conceivably occur if your USB hub loses power. If it happens again, you might try pressing F1 on the Driver Station to force it to refresh the joystick connections.

Some teams have reported totally losing connection to their Cypress board if their Driver Station goes to sleep at the wrong time before they've connected to the field Ethernet. Maybe you're seeing something similar.
