Einstein 2012

Comm issues hit blue now... Curie Curse strikes again. I'm appalled at this.

[Sean Raia]

Curie curse trumps all. It literally changed the side of the comm issues to blue

[ErikEdhlund]

It is really hard to watch all of these matches. It is hard to even consider it a fair competition, and what is worse, the field issues or the Curie curse?

[Kevin Sevcik]

So to summarize, all we know is that there were 4 robots that seemed to work fine on division fields, and failed to work on Einstein for some reason. But all FIRST knows is that there's 4 robots that consistently didn't work on Einstein, so it must be a problem with the robots.

[George Nishimura]

I'm not sure what was happening on the red side for about 30 seconds, because the score didn't change. Not sure if that was lag, but I didn't see Spam for a while. Unfortunately, the video feed was focused on Blue so I'm not sure if that was just coincidence or not.

[GoSparx]

Man, people hit FIRST hard. First is more thw just winning and robots right?

Both 207 and 987 cut out for a few seconds during F1 as well.

This is ridiculous.

Is it possible that all of the interactions between WiFi enabled devices (smartphones) are creating too much stress on the router? Thousands of devices within range could cause disruptions. I also noticed teams drop out like 1717 during eliminations when there were many people around watching the matches.

I'd like to see what would happen if everyone turned off their devices in the stands. Make an announcement?

Replay Einstein at IRI?

Well, it's not just einstein. I saw something similar happen at the CT regional, and im sure thats not the only one.

Also, my programmer just pointed out that the terrible weather makes an excellent metaphor for the issues on einstein.

I'll have them up on a few hours

I'd watch the heck out of this.

And I'd also like to see longs from any team that dropped communications on Einstein today. It would be interesting to compare how they logs looked between the division matches and Einstein ones.

[miriad]

As a volunteer that works with FMS regularly- it logs everything. Absolutely everything. Any scoring, robot/ds communications (packet logging, I think), and any problems

[George Nishimura]

Didn't 118 have a similar problem at CT?
