So don't we get points for towers not triggering?

At Kettering, the false negatives were associated with the faster minibots. It was noted that in order to eliminate the false positives, the sensitivity was decreased, and it was surmised that the fastest minibots did not provide enough contact time to trigger the tower. It was not a matter of force, but of time of contact.
Hopefully this can be addressed.
