Autonomous did not work at official field but ok at practice field

When you test your code on the practice field did you just run the autonomous feature of the drive station or did you try practice mode? I would suggest running in practice mode as it simulates the various state changes out on the real fields.

He already answered that.

- Yes, we reinitiated variables during start of teleop.

- no, we did not use while loops, we used flat sequence

Field logs may also prove to be valuable in the troubleshooting process.

This happened to us only once on practice day at Waterloo, however I could not see clearly if we were having a jam or not.

I'd recommend looking through the Driver Station log files and check to see how the connection was looking like during the autonomous period in the matches. I've also found that the FTA is more than willing to pay special attention to your robot if you guys are having problems and check for any anomalies.

Not sure how your DriverStation is set up, but ours has SmartDashboard and it displays a Scheduler, which allows us to see if a command is running or not. You guys could try that if possible to check if the robot is actually running your specific autonomous commands.

Here is the code of the autonomous VI
Thanks guys!
