Who did NOT have comm problems in Waterloo regional?

We used a tether partially for convenience, but mostly because we glue-gunned the radio's power connector in place to make sure it doesn't fall out. When our tether cable started failing sporadically, I wanted to use the practice field radio, but we just had to run out of glue sticks at that moment and so couldn't change the radio.

we had comm problems our first match, then CAN network problems our 3rd and 4th, (sat dead on the field) then missed our 5th match while changing over to pwm.

I think the regional consistently ran more than 30 minutes ahead. I remember walking in on friday around 11:30, and everyone had dispersed for lunch already. I didn't get to watch any qualifiers, but got the satisfaction of knowing the field guys were on top of everything.

EDIT: I found that we gave out a lot of wireless adaptors on saturday at spare parts, does this indicate possible comm problems or were the adaptors just prone to failure?

2185 had no problems with our comm systems on the field but we did have some problems at the practice field.

team 781 didnt have any comm problems, but we did constantly get stuck in a loop during an autonomous, which meant we couldnt do anything until we rebooted the robot from the driver station, we were then fully operational.

Team 1503 only once had communication problems at Waterloo, but that was our fault due to our radio power cable failing.

Otherwise, communications were smooth sailing all weekend.

A few teams (771, 843 & 1503) re-WPA'd their adapters during the elimination rounds. Though I don't believe the root causes were identified, that was done as a precautionary measure.

772 had communication issues which appeared to be with the robot itself.

There were no major delays due to FMS problems.

(And regarding the schedule being ahead: actually, it was just set up with generous breaks—the Friday schedule ended pretty early, as did the qualification rounds on Saturday. This was presumably to avoid getting into trouble if the field did act up.)
