Re: Michigan State Championship
I was your scorekeeper at MSC this past weekend. I should be able to clear up some confusion about the tower lights vs minibot order.

We have to change the order of the minibot race when host robots hit the tower and trigger the scoring inadvertently.

This happened a couple times in the eliminations. We can adjust the scoring correctly but we can't change the tower lights to show the correct finish order. So it can be confusing if you are just watching a video and looking at the lights.

We had refs, the FTA, FTAA and myself watching all of the "drag races" to ensure we got the order correct. There are also refs assigned to each tower to determine early deployment and tower disables.

We had many matches where four minibots scored in 4 seconds so this was very challenging!
