I don't feel the specification was unclear. There is a force given in the rules. The original tower used limit switches.
Logically one would think that a setup using limit switches would be momentary-ie not having to be triggered for some finite time period.
We should have foreseen that there was not enough real world testing done to show how robots hitting the towers would affect the response of the triggers?
In the future I guess when we see things like this you're saying we should assume FIRST will not be able to implement them properly and as such we should ask way more questions than necessary to ensure that everything works right?
