disaster in israel regional

[gyaniv]

This is not the programmers fault... yes some teams had "Watchdog Not Fed" on their DS but most of the teams had "No Robot Communication" when they had communication problems...
"No Robot Communication" can only happen by a field error that is related to the field router and robot access-point, and "Watchdog Not Fed" is programmers fault most of the time as far as i know.
As the driver of team 2230 i can assure you that during most of the games the communication problems were because there was no communication with the robot, and even in our semi-finals game, two robots in our alliance didn't have communication at all with the robot during most of the game (team 1690 and team 2214) which caused the game to be 3 robots against 1 robot, and since it is the elimination games the robots where good (we were against teams 2630 1657 and 2669 the regional champions) so we didn't stand a chance, and the field crew didn't even care about all the communication problems and continued the game normally like nothing happened. and we didn't even had a chance to fix it because of the stupid decision to make the elimination games 1 match and not the best out of 3 games.
