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

I think GLR was pretty rough today. First off, auto scoring was down most of the day. Scores were based on the referees, which I think was as inaccurate as the computer system at times. The refs decided to also make the offesnse/defense random becuase whenever who won autonmous was placed on defense first, their score defaulted to 540 for no apparently reason. It was finally fixed for Match 53. In Match 53, the field equipment decided to die. CD 47's robot never went out of autonomous. They reset the field and tried it again...then no one went into autonomous. They rebooted their equipment and CD's robot still stayed in autonomous. They finally swapped out field equipment. We almost had to replay a match because the team before use used the E-Stop in the match** and no one reset it. We caught it right before the start of the match when we didnt know why only our alliance light was flashing. The scoring display in the pits also malfunctioned. Some teams Win/Loss was messed up, then it just stopped working all together. There were also various disputes regarding the penalty flags being thrown for back bots, but i'm not even gonna go on that rant.

** We were told to E-Stop if we flipped over and were dead for the match to avoid issues with offesnse/defense and the back bot because the disabled robot does not count as one of the 2 robots.
