This is true; however, I am willing to venture that a good portion of those problems with RTS as we know it are, in whole or in part, human-caused. (If you turned off the iPAQ this season, you know what I mean.)

In my experience of two seasons, the only time I've seen an automated field feature not function correctly was the 2004 Robot Rodeo--and at that point, the entire field was messed up. (Luckily, you could trigger the ball dumps manually--it just required a pipe and a bit of jumping. And we still had fun, so there you go.)
