Re: Week 2: So how's that Field Working?

I was involved at UTC with the field setup and testing yesterday, and I was hovering around the scoring table all day today. The counting system seems to be working much better than at BAE last week (considering we have the same field), and we've only had one miscalibration problem with a corner goal (it was continuously counting upwards). The real-time score display was up and running the whole time.

There were some matches where the green lights were randomly on or off when they weren't supposed to be (e.g. both lights it during the 2nd period) but the problem disappeared with the next match. We'll just have to keep an eye out for that and sound the foghorn if it happens in competition.

As for the rankings, I have no clue how well they work, since we haven't been processing the data from the practice matches.
