Re: [FTC]: Samantha? Like it or hate it?
I just realized something about what may have happened at Clarkson. When you went through the final phase of inspection and did the testing match, the FTA working the pit loaded the samantha wifi configuration. This configuration must have been the FTC_FIELD configuration, because it's the same configuration we used on the field. emmel said that at georgia the had a FTC_FIELD router and FTC_PIT router, meaning that if you were testing in the pit you would have to load the pit configuration and if you went onto the field you would load the field configuration. Now at Clarkson we had an area to test your robot with samantha in the pit, but never had to change configuration if we were on the field and then went to the pit and vice versa. Meaning that we had two seperate routers running the same configuration, while the matches were carefully looked over it was almost like it was free rein in the pit. If you wanted to run a test match you just need a field tech to come over and start the match. I feel like every time I came out of a match I saw people on that pit field. So what I'm trying to say is that at Clarkson we had two routers running the same configuration, and sometimes running matches at the same time, this seems exactly the kind of situation that could lead to the problems we saw.
