The system worked fine all the other rounds up until we needed it most. We bagged it up to be ready for state competition invites already so we can only change the program for it. Would increasing the dump speed change anything? or is it just plain bad luck?
At the event in question the field techs unjammed the balls and altered the score during the teleop period to reflect that the balls were scored in hybrid mode. All your points were accounted for they just weren't up there immediately.
