Re: Any Team Using A Timer?
The onboard timer is not tied directly to the FMS, but it counts beginning with the first enabled packet, which is pretty close. You will probably be more accurate than a human, and your match time will probably lag about 100ms max or so behind FMS. You could compensate for this or leave it, your choice. Still, that's barely in the range of human perception, so you would probably have an advantage by implementing it in software (although it would probably only be about 1/10th of a second or so)
