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.

If that's the case, it sounds like the pressure mats weren't working properly. :-/
If the mats are working properly, the arena controllers always wait until all four are pressed before they begin the countdown to autonomous mode.
I'd be really surprised if the FIRST staff on site didn't make sure that those mats were working properly, as overriding them is a very large safety hazard.
