Re: Real-Time Scoring Not Working?
I almost posted a picture earlier of a 300+ score coming out of Auton at Kettering. The blue alliance side was usually off by at least 50 points. Apparently they tried recalibrating it every few matches and then gave up.
At least with this system they realize that it really doesn't work, and have people manually scoring. Kettering had 4 people dedicated to counting discs during the match.
Everyone was basically ignoring the on-screen score since it changed wildly post-match.
Edit:
I think the best solution is to do something like what they did in many past games: Leave the scoring to the humans, but give them some sort of button box to deal with realtime scoring.
