Re: What's the score?

Displaying it on the FMS might be more useful and less costly than displaying it on screens off to the side. It's also less like to interfere with someone's view of the field. It's also highly unlikely to screw with camera targetting like gigantic screens do.

For this year, it seems like a coaching adjustment is needed. One of the hardest things to do as a coach is not focus on your robot during the match. Watching the clock and score is pretty easy once you get into that habit. Do it like pilots do -- periodic sweeping views of every bot on the field and then the score. The clock is already displayed in an easy-to-view place.
