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.)

Yeah, I was just going to point to 2006 as an example where the automated scoring system caused a ton of problems. It's hard to create a flawless system and this is the type of situation where it
needs to be flawless. In 2006, I remember there were tons of issues with the scoring when the goals got clogged by the onslaught of balls and they had to implement a human-based system then.
