Eric and Kyle,
I believe I was the inspector. The team (and many other teams) brought me an adapter that they couldn't ping. Neither could I, even after two manufacturer resets. I could not connect, I could not see the web interface although it appeared to be handshaking to the computer. A power reset at one point, sent the device into never never land and it never completed. The team took it from me when it would not boot. I merely confirmed what they already thought.
In the final match in Wisconsin, three robots failed. I was informed that two of them lost the Classmate due to dead batteries and the third was a shutdown of the USB hub powered from the Classmate, also a battery issue.
I wish I had a nickel for every match I have missed because I was helping a team. I could buy a nice lunch.
I believe the alliance station also flashes during autonomous if a robot is not running autonomous code.
