With the exception of the end of the autonomous period, there is no delay between game periods. Balls in flight when the period ends will be counted for the period.

I suppose I am confused on this? If there is no delay for counting balls, and your scoring zone turns off as the period changes, how will a ball in flight be counted, and who is going to keep track of that? Besides the fact that there was a Q/A referred to that says it will trigger a 5sec wait to count balls if it detects them in the center goal. Maybe they confused delay in match play, vs delay in scoring deactivation? Anyone help clarify? |
The answer says there will be no delay after periods 2 and 3 (and 4, I guess). This means there
could be a delay after period 1 (autonomous) - I suspect that there almost always will be, so alliances can be informed by the system whether they are playing offense or defense.
It also says that balls in flight will be counted. Perhaps at the end of periods 2 and 4 everything applicable is turned off
except the center ball counter, which stays active for 5 more seconds. (At the end of period 3, everything already on stays active; everything at the other end is activated for the final free-for-all.) I don't know how they would determine whether or not the balls counted in that period were in flight, stuck in the chute, or shot late by a robot.
