Re: New Central Illinois Regional Looking Good!

The FMS and dead ball system both need work. There was one time our robot had rebooted due to low voltage, and was up and running again before they even saw the dead ball sign. Perhaps a button per alliance station would work that would trigger FMS to light up the pedestal?

The pedestal also had a long delay between scoring a ball and lighting up. I realize part of this is the refs have to count the ball as scored, but some times it took more than 10 seconds.
