Re: cycles not starting

Yes, the refs have a lot to do this year. But that's only one part of the problem. There are several issues:
-- There is latency in the system - some button pushes do not respond for 1 or 2 seconds. And when it takes 2, 3, or 4 pushes to complete the cycle (depending on the situation) - well, the time just adds up.
-- There are parts of the system that just plain do not work - FIRST is working on a solution. In the meantime there are time-consuming workarounds.
-- Field reset people need to be properly trained - we're working on that too. They have decisions to make this year about returning balls to play - nearest HP, etc.
