Re: FMS triggered Minibot launch?

Just to pile on, the elapsed time value in the framework is a local cRIO timer because there are no official timestamps or time values in the protocol.

For a short duration like an FRC match, the independent clocks are obviously close enough, but if the FMS does something like start the timer after the sound finishes, that may explain the difference. Does the match time issues exist in the FMS Lite? Can you use that to determine if the time is consistent, but long by x seconds?
