3) Having the ability to recycle game objects into play opens up a wealth of options when it comes to game design, but until FIRST can prove that they can score matches with a much higher degree of accuracy, it might be time to scale back how these games are scored. This isn't a criticism, bu merely a simple understanding that there will always be scoring errors when scoring must be done in real time. Designing games to minimize the number of quick real time scoring decisions that need to be made will make things easier for the referees, and result in fewer complaints from teams.

2. Ignore the automated minibot scoring.
3. See #1, although these rare errors almost blew up on Einstein...
