In the 22 matches we played and the 22+ matches I watched while in queue, we saw a hot goal problem twice. The first time, one side of the hot goal remained on the entire auto period. A few seconds after teleop started, the match stopped, and was reset. Our drive team was never told why. The second time the exact same thing happened. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but in our three full match replays, the hot goal side changed at least once, but I don't know if a match restart has the ability to switch the hot goal side.

After this match, I watched the timer, and every other time, the hot goal switched within .5 seconds of 5 seconds on the timer.

Another observation I had was that the timer, lights, sound effects, and robot state weren't as lined up as they were last year. In a few matches, our robot was disabled before the buzzer and the lights went off. In one match, I loaded the shooter right as the buzzer stopped.

I don't think it's a problem with the light controller because they were able to put on some pretty fast moving light shows during picking.
