I absolutely agree with this.

It would be nice if there was some kind of vertical sensor during the last 15 seconds to see when they cross that line, but that would require a LOT more programming, money, and probably something else I am overseeing.

Or like Art was saying, plates on the bottom that first had to be engaged before the minibot could be deployed.

I know for a fact our team is going to be at the pole somewhere around the 15-20 second mark to get ready depending if we need to line up or not (which depends on weight).

To me, it is kind of set up to fail: Such a vital part of the game that requires the bots to be deployed at a very precise time with humans determining whether the teams deployed early or on time just seems sketchy to me.
