Re: Match Length Question

I showed by the internal time clock 15 (:15)Auto+135(2:15) at beginning of Teleop=Total 150 seconds. (2:30). I'd go by this clock, but there is a momentary delay switching from Auto to Teleop. You can see that from clock hitting zero in Auto to starting @135 in Teleop by repeatedly watching the video closely. (So is there a 1 second or thereabouts switchover between Auto/Teleop when nothing is actually happening?) If so, then actual match timing is correct.

By the actual youtube video clock, match starts at 1:29, Ends at 4:01. 60X4=240-89=151 Seconds=(2:31) Seconds (That has to be something in the way the formatting of the actual video was done and what with, and video compression happens. (I'd still go by the offical first game clock, unless you see something in the Driver Station logs that shows it really isn't true to form).

If you do, you should notify FIRST immediately.

You may also be correct as the vid could end @ 4:00 which would make both clocks exactly 150 Seconds, & exactly match. (2:30 Minutes Total) Switchover @ 1:43 between Auto/Tele also confirmed though. Something could appear off there by my math. (Just ran free stopwatch on the video and came up w/ 2:32:01 but impossible to be perfect there as to start/stop by finger clicks). Then I ran it on the 135 second segment of Teleop...Easier to get timing of the stop watch start/stop clicks right there, and it came up 2:17:50...Your programmer appears closer to correct! (It is by the game clock and vid almost 2:18 long for teleop). I could easily be off by 1/10th of a second, but not by nearly 3 seconds. Ran it again on another vid on teleop, same event, later vid in the order Tele was 2:18:12. But the game clock showed fluctuations in the countdown in numerous places along the way too w/ 2 of us watching both timer and stopwatch. Mobo battery is probably low or unit had some heat in it (running the FMS), or some other problem. Your programmer actually found something as multi runs is showing almost a constant Teleop period of 2:18. Smart kids!

The Auto was :15 as I counted it down to zero (15 clicks), then the game clock switched to 135 seconds (150 seconds is 2:30 or 2 Minutes, 30 Seconds).
