Re: Who did NOT have comm problems in Waterloo regional?

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.

Re: Who did NOT have comm problems in Waterloo regional?

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.

Re: Who did NOT have comm problems in Waterloo regional?

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.

Re: Who did NOT have comm problems in Waterloo regional?

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.)
