It's an extremely valid concern. In 2013, the automated goal scoring was abandoned for pure manual count. In 2006, the light sensors were a mess and humans manually counted scored balls later on (if I remember correctly). Both of these games are notable for having a large number of game pieces shot into a goal...

I was not aware that FIRST quit using the Frisbee goal scales. I was under the impression weight was used for live scoring, and a tally was used at the end to confirm the count.
2006 was the year before my rookie year, so I am unaware of any field problems from that time or before.
