We never had a problem with the pressure pad or our human player on the pressure pad, although we didn't have any purposeful auton modes except go to the human loading zone and fun acress the field into other bots
but besides that, the pressure pad fine, we never once lost power to our bot, although an OI at the competiton did give us problems in one of the stations... that's another story... Also be careful to not touch any tetras until the auton period is over, that is when the signal goes off and not when the clock resets to 120. Our human player grabbed a tetra when the clock hit 120 seconds after the 15 second auton, but the signal did not go off until 119 seconds left, with that we got one 10 point penalty for touching a tetra while in auton mode. So my warning to all teams is to not touch tetras until the buzzer goes off and the drivers are able to step forward and drive their bots. Penalties are bad, don't get hit with them for things like that.
