Re: Scoring 2013, I can do better than that!

I would have planned for a streamlined human-based solution from the start. Something along the lines of how it was done in 2009, with handheld boxes with tactile buttons for real-time, and manual counting at the end of the match when the goals are emptied.

When was the last time we had an automated solution that reliably handled large quantities of game pieces being scored in parallel? (Answer: it's never.)
