What am I missing?
Oops, I meant to say our partners had issues in the semi-finals when we were on the blue side, my mistake.

It was match 49 where we had the issue ourselves, and aside from that one round we didn't have any other issues. After that round we had another team approach us and explain that they had the same problem in that DS shortly before us and suggested that other teams had also had issues in that DS. Yeah, I know, two datapoints and some anecdotes is not overwhelming evidence, but it just made us aware. Then when our partners had a similar problem in that DS in the semi-finals it really got our attention.

Now that I'm looking at the match results page I see that for semi 1-1 it lists us in blue 2, I was thinking 134 was in blue 2 both semi rounds. Maybe it was just Murphy messing with us if our partners were dead after auto from two different DSs.

Thanks for all your feedback. It will help our drive team to be better prepared in case something happens again.
