Thumbs up Re: Intermittent connection on field only

Good Morning All,

Being new to FRC this year I heard about the Bayou issue from a lead NI engineer. So FIRST did send them to LSR I think for free? Knowing this then there is an issue somewhere that needs attention.

I agree we shouldn’t chase some things, however, I would have figured that those running the contests would have some type of monitoring software. If not maybe this is where it should start. Have "HARD" evidence for the FTA staff showing the connection rates etc. and radio strength to prove or support technical difficulties occured during matches (document! Document! DOCUMENT!). As a mentor/coach I would have a hard time selling to my kiddos about their mistakes if I didn’t have something to back it up with when it seems to work fine at home and not at the conest.

Also, I watched the World championship matches and was really wondering what happen with 1114 & 2056 last matches. They averaged 40+ pts. And then to see a sudden drop makes me think of another issue and then the e-mail from headquarters this morning.

I know we try to instill GP across the board and this should be a lesson for all parties involved on how to improve.
