2012 Field Comm. Issue Logs

[Grim Tuesday]

We have correlated (note, not causation, just a hypothesis) multiple field failures (full connection loss) to the Blue alliance station number 1. At FLR, our robot failed multiple times in that station only, as did our alliance partners. Further supporting this theory is the fact that during the qualification matches, the red alliance won 61% of matches. Considering the randomized aspect of schedules, this seems somewhat outside the 50% norm it should be. The field is going to Buckeye this week, and DC next week. We'll be at DC, watching it, but I would suggest anyone at Buckeye to keep an eye on that station. It might have just been assembled at Fingerlakes with a wire loose, or it could be a problem in its hardware. Or this whole thing could just be coincidence. Just something to keep in mind.
