I completely agree. The blue box last year was a real-time system that did have its own problems. Hopefully FIRST can settle on a middle ground and test the equipment completely.

I believe this also stems from not allowing all the teams to test the Driver Station / cRio code until Kickoff. Out of the fifty Beta teams with access to the 2010 system only a handful posted documentation on the system. The Lunacy Beta test model was the best implementation of Beta testing so far.

At Bayou , we had major problems due to not updating the Driver Station firmware. Check to make sure your DS firmware is the latest.
