i wish this were always so at ucf, maddie...

some of the auto modes were going even when the HP's didn't get back in time. i know this cause it happened to 108 when we played a match with them. they wanted to disable their auto mode so it didn't conflict with ours, so they had their HP stay off 'til 12 sec. well, he stayed off, but their auto mode went anyway and we collided at the center and stuck together for the first 20 sec of human control.

i've heard similar stories from ucf as well.

to the HP's: stay safe, but please try to get off the field quickly.
