Wish they would clearly state how. I can see a lot of debate happening on this type of instance, esp if it affects automode results (a last sec ball in flight, not detected by the goal yet, not sure how fast human interaction can happen there).
I guess that 5sec counting delay is only after automode, if it detects balls in the goal. Seems like it should do the same for other periods... same concept... we'll see.

You have to remember that the other periods (except 4) only have one goal active. So, if redabot shoots into their goal, then it switches, that goal can count the balls since it has nothing else to do. The only issue would be if a robot fired after the period ended.
