As FRC4ME said, this could be a programming issue, although I can't say for sure. Can anyone on 134's programming team shed some light on how they got working again?

Wait...I have a question for 134: when you were unable to move, what did the driver station display read? "Autonomous enabled," or "teleop enabled?" (or something else?)
If it read autonomous enabled, I can't imagine how you could cause such a problem in programming.
If it read teleop enabled, but the robot seemed to still be running autonomous code, I can show you a million ways to cause such a problem in programming.

This right here is an indication that FIRST does not fully understand the FMS they are dealing with. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the order in which you connect devices to a WiFi network should have no affect on how the system works. We have found a solution that seems to make things work, but I doubt anyone understands why it "works," and whether it leaves behind any residual problems. One of the first steps toward solving the FMS bugs, IMO, would be to determine why the boot order matters. This could possibly shed light into the root cause of other problems.

In my honest opinion, it seems that there's very few people, at least from what I see at CD, that celebrate the non-competition merits of FRC teams. Again, that's only my opinion. Maybe I'm missing all the "good" threads. |

I don't think most of the teams in there won their regionals (yet, at least).
