I absolutely love the simplicity and out-of-the-box thinking in this hot goal tracking system. I was thinking about it, though, and wondered to myself how it's legal. I checked the rules, and according to G16, it's legal:

During AUTO, TEAM members in the ALLIANCE STATION must remain behind the STARTING LINE and may not contact the OPERATOR CONSOLE.

But I then looked at the definition of AUTO and was a little more confused.
Quote:

AUTO (aka Autonomous): the first ten (10) seconds of the MATCH in which ROBOTS operate without direct DRIVER control.

It's pretty clear that the LRI's have ruled it legal, as 254 has gotten inspected, kicked butt, and won many times with it. I figured that CheesyVision was pretty much direct control, so how is it legal?
Again, good job, 254 does it again.
