There has to be a better way to use this extra time, right?
As the field supervisor, this did not happen. We never stopped for a dance break. There were only small delays to allow for teams to properly connect their robots to the field and only one stopped match. The only delay I can think you are referring to was when a Cheval de Frise broke in consecutive matches and we had to take about 5 minutes to repair the first one as it was the audience selected defense. We started and ended on time Saturday.
