Re: Field Electronics
For Example:
Last year, there were sensors (It was some form of motion sensor, not sure on specifics) that more or less triggered when a soccer ball was scored through a goal.
Another of those sensors were then placed on the return racks, to make sure all the soccer balls got returned within 10 seconds, or else DOGMA Penalties were issued.
Those were I believe were hooked to a IO Modual in the SCC (There may have been a smaller IO Box like this year, but memory is getting to me)
The finale with robots hanging was manually inputted at the scorers table.
So as you can see lots of variation in electronics from 2 back to back years. This is why making a full set can become very expensive if you try to update it. To run the basic setup of getting the robots to run (router, bridges, lots of cat 5) is one thing, but beyond that, it's hard.

Reason: It's the SCC not the FCC ;)
