Re: Discrepancy at Chesapeake, Israel, Waterloo?

I was an FTAA at Chesapeake and can tell you the most of the problems with "dead" robots were operator error. The most common was robots going on the field with the cRio un-plugged from the radio. The FTA had made it clear that once the gates were up you could not correct things like that on the field. We even announced it in the pits to no avail.
Unfortunately I also mentor team 2199 who lost a very good chance at being regional champion due to the robot in Blue-2 de-linking after autonomous. The weird thing is that it exhibited the same behavior in the previous match but in Blue 3 lending credence to the argument that it was a robot problem.
One thing I found that was fairly consistent was the flat black ethernet cable provided in the kit was problematic. teams that had swapped it out for real twisted pair ahd almost no problems with communication.
