If there were a scorekeeper watching the ball instead, the ref would have been able to see the robot interaction. I think it would seriously improve people's impressions of the game if there were scorekeepers dedicated to the ball/assist/scoring/pedestal tracking and the refs could focus on the robots. (This would also help with the scorekeeping errors that are being pointed out in this thread - 125 points scored vs 66 recorded is a BIG problem.)

Libby, you've been a VC, do you think it's feasible to expect events to bring in ~2 more trained (and hopefully experienced) volunteers this late in the game? Question goes out to all the other event-runners as well.
