[Not2B]

In Ann Arbor we had a match where a ball got counted twice. Which was great as we got two points for one ball...

... until the auto scoring system started to look for the second ball to be returned to the field. Our alliance lost like 4 or 5 points because of this. The field crew knew that it was an issue, but they said they couldn't change it because the field was automatic.

Not much we could do about it. Of course, that wasn't as upsetting as all the communications issues with the field. One of our partners had their robot drive around on the field without any driver input in teleop, while we lost all control in teleop. Also nothing the field crew could do.

Oh well... I think FIRST knows that the fields are buggy and unreliable at this point. No point in beating a dead horse. The field crews did the best job they could with the equipment they had. I don't envy their job at all - I'm glad they survived the weekend! Thanks field crews.
