Additionally we have 4 official towers and I can confirm that every single time ours goes up the pole it depresses the limit switches, but twice this weekend it did not show the tower as triggered at San Diego.

It seems pretty clear there are still problems with the field and I don't just say this because the tower failed to trigger with our minibot. It was a very common occurrence.
