Thanks Mark and Greg for your explicit and helpful replies.

I can only speak for my team, but we didn't "disregard" any instructions. When we explicitly followed the explicit instructions, it didn't work. (That is, we did everything the script said, and nothing it said not to. Unless it was listed in a document other than the Driver Station and Radio setup guides.) We therefore reverted to last year's configuration, which worked for us.

Thanks to explicit and helpful replies, I expect that we'll have no more problems.

We did have another motivation to try the "competition" setup. We had some concern whether our robot radio was functioning in bridge mode, as we saw some irregularities, and wanted to test it before competition.
