Indeed, the sensors seemed to be working fine in practice, but appeared disabled for qualification rounds. They were fooling with them often during the days, but the manual system worked well.

I don't think so. The minibots were easily hitting hard enough to trigger the switches, more than hard enough to overcome incidental friction from screw threads. My suspicion is the voting system "wasn't quite right". By the end some towers indicated consistently, but that left rear one never, ever did.
