Re: Hot Goal Timing Issues

I linked this in another thread, but I will put it here
This was a Semi-Final match at GSD a week ago.

If you look at the goals, the second "hot" goal turns on with a fraction of a second left. This happened on both sides of the field (look to the far left of the video and watch it a few times). Whatever is wrong with the hot goal timing this year, it does not seem to be an isolated incident. Also, I think Dean Kamen points it out to one of the field personnel, so it did not go unnoticed.

I noticed something with the timing this year as well, usually when the timer hits zero on the field (before the buzzer sounds) you can step forward and the control the robot almost immediately. But this year there is a noticeable 1-2 second delay between the end of auto (timer hits 0) and the start of teleop. It was bothering me a lot at GSD, because in 2012 and 2013 you could immediately take control after auto, this year seems different.
