Re: Backup Coupon Warning

In my experience, we've occasionally had back-up bot teams leave, and so when they get called up to compete, they're not there and we move on to the next bot.

So I'm pretty sure FMS can allow "skipping" over a back-up bot for the next one. It's a tough call as a ref to say that you can cherry pick your back-up bot, even if the one you would've gotten is immobile, because that could cost the opposing alliance the match, which also wouldn't be fair.

I don't have a solution to offer to the dilemma either, but I'm sure someone could come up with something that would be better for all
