Re: [FTC]: Samantha? Like it or hate it?

Yesterday we had multiple disconnections during matches (even finals) at the NJ Frozen Frenzy Qualifier. This wouldn't be so much of a worry if it was just miscommunication between Samantha FCS people and the teams. That could be solved. But what usually happened was completely unexplained disconnections - sometimes making the NXT freeze up while driving and burn out the motors, sometimes just not running at all, sometimes shutting some teams off while other teams run and then turning them all back on. It just seems like Samantha is still in the testing phase. Or, at least, if they have figured out these problems, they haven't made it clear how to diagnose and fix them. I'm glad they're taking initiative - but I think switching over while Samantha still has some bugs is a bad idea.
Of course, I'm probably just bitter. I'd be a lot more open to it if it didn't cost my team 60 bucks every time we burn out our motors.
