Incorrectly.

Re: Small FMS timer bug
 

If it's always a consistent extra 5 seconds, I have no problem with it. It gives the students 5 more seconds of play each match and maybe win.

I don't know if this is unrelated or not, but when you start a practice match on the Classmate, about 5 seconds (just remembering here) is elapsed before it enables the robot for autonomous.

Re: Small FMS timer bug
 

They are probably not related because the DS practice mode was written without knowledge of or access to the code of the FMS. The practice mode defaults to having a five second countdown -- the DS ticks down the seconds, before it starts the sound effect and the auto period.

Is that the five seconds you are commenting on? If so, you can change it in the setup tab.

Yes it is, thanks Greg.

Re: Small FMS timer bug
 

Yes, identify and fix the bug, but implement it in next year's FMS. Leave it alone for now. We've all had enough changes already.

Actually, I was thinking this weekend that the matches were too short, scores were too low, and how would strategy change if the drivers had more time... But that's a different question!
