Re: Acknowledgment of minibot reaching top

as the rules say, its supposed to take 5 newtons to trigger the sensor and then the tower signals the field controller which scores the order of finish and controls the lights on the top to show the crowd the results in real time.
At Trenton at least one of the towers was unreliable the whole time.
The judges did it by eye, with several disputed calls.
