I've not seen much if any discussion on this (maybe I'm not looking in the right place). Does anyone have any firsthand experience with such a scenario happening to them? Is this actually a thing?
This happened in a bunch of matches at CVR. I believe it is related to the hot goal timing issue; the field clock display and the FMS clock are somehow getting out of sync. We have ample video evidence that robots are getting enabled before the field clock ever starts moving.

Hopefully both issues will be fixed via field software update.
