This also ends my wondering about the hiccups early on at the Fall Classic, while things seemed to run smoothly for the rest of the day. Thanks for donating so much of your time to make these events a success!

RC, if off-season events switch to full FMS in the future, will that negate this issue?
Yes the router was a major part of the problems early on. It made the normal first-round issues much worse. After we switched routers and got everybody linked up things went much better. I can't recall the last time I saw Terry spend as much time sitting around as he did in the afternoon at the Fall Classic. This is a good thing. It means the robots were behaving themselves and hooking up nicely, without our help.

If we were to use the full FMS it would mitigate this issue, but CA is a big state and the normal place for West Coast FMS is about 400 miles away, and there is only one. So we still need a router for the pre-ship scrimmage. The Full FMS this past year also took a LOT of work to wire. We had already decided not to use it when we found out it was going to be unavailable because it was too much set-up time for a 1 day event.
