Correct operation of autonomous mode is the issue. We saw a few robots with incorrect master code that entered auto mode at the wrong time; i.e., after it was over and the referees were trying to record the auto mode scores. (This happened during morning practice rounds.)
However, this disruption may have been caused by other factors such as incomplete electrical connections to the field control system, or incorrectly inserted crystals. We'll set up some tests under controlled conditions and report what we find, probably later this week.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

Some said the aluminum foil gave the robot a NASA-like quality, but others pointed out that blanketing components with a highly-conductive material that blocked air flow was probably not going to help get us to Einstein. - beerobber [more]
