Re: Week 2 Analysis
At Crossroads there were some very noticeable delays in the pedestal lighting up. Q24 that Travis posted a link to was just one of several I noticed. Most of the time when it happened I saw a referee working on their tablet. They have to toggle between screens and sometimes that delays things. Particularly if there is a foul just before or after a goal is scored. The delays are a problem, but the inconsistency is an even bigger issue. In Q32 at Crossroads we had a 7-8 second delay once, but the other alliance had one over 15 seconds. That necessitated a replay. Which is why I still think the best solution is spreading the responsibility around more. If there were one person watching each robot for possessions and scores I believe we would see fewer errors and delays. The other referees can concentrate on fouls. It is not just as simple as assigning more people, you would have to change the FMS to allow this.
