This is true enough, and it was obvious in some cases. But when the speed was close it was difficult to tell if they were a smidge over or not. And yes, in a lot of cases it was possible to tell when the robot was over. And some were caught because their shots were obviously travelling too far for the angle shot at etc. There was one at PNW that was only .6-.8 M over. And while it was possible to tell, I must admit it was much much harder to see.
