Just like you guys I want nothing more than to have perfect running competitions, I think the teams deserve it. But because of the time frames and resources available sometimes this doesn't seem to work out. Remember last years week one events ran pretty well, that was the second year of that FMS system. FMS is now is now about 3X the complexity of the IFI system and I don't think its that far off from being dialed in for great running events. This is a new control system (both FMS and the robot systems) and obviously we have to get it characterized.

The initial link up issues, the DS drop issues, I saw over the weekend where teams had stops in their cRio code that reset the bot on watchdog timer, we see that when the cRio voltage jumps to 37.37 on the status screen. All sorts of crazy stuff, there's alot to learn, you all are part of the process, we can help each other out.

We'll get it figured out, we're determined, there are a bunch of really smart people working on this....
