First off, great post and congratulations on the regional win

My team faced a similar experience at the Florida Regional this year. We had a bad CRIO which caused the field to crash every time we connected. Because of this we were red carded from a match and only work fully in 2 of our 10 matches.

But we didn't give up, I can admit that I whined a little and even though about just crating the robot and shipping it to our next event, We got a new CRIO and our robot's potential got us selected by the 8th seeded alliance, 1557 and 801(Thanks again) and we helped our alliance become finalist.

I think this was one of the top two greatest learning experience I have had while I have been on team 79 and I will carry these lessons with me as long as I am involved with FIRST and beyond.
