Einstein 2012

[Chris86]

While the comms situation is very annoying and frustrating, please be considerate when judging possible outcomes. All of the divisional winners are great competitors and any of them could have won.

233 just died.. [don't know about any others] so isn't just a red problem but came back. What the hell is wrong with this field........

Well, it's not just einstein. I saw something similar happen at the CT regional, and im sure thats not the only one.

Also, my programmer just pointed out that the terrible weather makes an excellent metaphor for the issues on einstein.

Curie curse wins. Pink is stationary for no discernable reason.

Comm issues hit blue now... Curie Curse strikes again. I'm appalled at this.

[Kevin Sevcik]

So to summarize, all we know is that there were 4 robots that seemed to work fine on division fields, and failed to work on Einstein for some reason. But all FIRST knows is that there's 4 robots that consistently didn't work on Einstein, so it must be a problem with the robots.

Both 207 and 987 cut out for a few seconds during F1 as well.

This is ridiculous.

[Gray Adams]

This is incredibly disappointing. It doesn't matter who wears blue, nobody wins.

[Sean Raia]

Curie curse trumps all. It literally changed the side of the comm issues to blue

[ErikEdhlund]

It is really hard to watch all of these matches. It is hard to even consider it a fair competition, and what is worse, the field issues or the Curie curse?

[George Nishimura]

I'm not sure what was happening on the red side for about 30 seconds, because the score didn't change. Not sure if that was lag, but I didn't see Spam for a while. Unfortunately, the video feed was focused on Blue so I'm not sure if that was just coincidence or not.

[GoSparx]

Man, people hit FIRST hard. First is more thw just winning and robots right?

Replay Einstein at IRI?

[BHS_STopping]

Is it possible that all of the interactions between WiFi enabled devices (smartphones) are creating too much stress on the router? Thousands of devices within range could cause disruptions. I also noticed teams drop out like 1717 during eliminations when there were many people around watching the matches.

I'd like to see what would happen if everyone turned off their devices in the stands. Make an announcement?
