I'm glad you guys noticed this as well. I thought I was going crazy. It definitely seemed like robots were being disabled before the buzzer. I just assumed it was something to do with they way the audio was being fed to the A/V system. But now that you mention the match timer and lights, it appears to be a larger issue.
