Andy was rarely more than 8 ft from Ken and the rest of the scoring table and they still had problems coordinating which bot to turn off at times. not because it is hard, but because it's a noisy, action-packed two minutes and the refs don't want (and the fans and scorers don't want) to have to scream at each other during the match to constantly disable robots for different amounts of time. let the refs watch the match...then make the call. if it needs immediate attention (few things do but it happens) they can take care of that. but let them do their job without having to get that complicated
Headsets?
