Re: 2015 Between-Match Delays

Usually at Bayou, by the time the score had been settled, the robots cleared and replaced, and the field reset (which usually went pretty briskly considering that there are over 200 game pieces), the match was able to start within another minute or so; Chris Copleand often started announcing matchups before the last team was off the field to help achieve this.
About one match in four or five seemed to have extra delays. Of the ones where I could see or later heard the reason, two were improper robot placement (hanging over the landfill or auto zone) and the rest (about five or six) were connectivity issues (one robot, the rest driver station). I suspect most of the others were connectivity, as well; I could occasionally see one team working hard behind the polycarbonate while the others waited.
