I don't think it was a bolt problem - I believe 27's minibot, like ours, is not wide enough to hit one of the bolts. I think the problem (at least from my understanding) comes from the delay programed in to prevent false triggers. FIRST didn't expect minibots to hit and be gone so fast not giving the tower enough time to trigger.
