I helped setup on friday- so I know that those consoles (under the drive station) have all the communication, ball counters, robot disable controls, etc- all running throught them. The display will not normally be there but I think they left them there for easy access(during the scrimmage) I noticed the scoring questions too. I think they had human counters double checking the balls- as I saw them running arround with totals after the match- So the scoring was probably still being perfected. In the past- they've never been 100% ready at this point- as far as all the advanced/realtime scoring and control systems. So this year I think they were actually more prepaired than ever- at this point. unlike our build session- they still have a couple weeks!!
