Doesn't sound fun.
Actually, The team at buckeye did one helluva job keeping the field good. There were maybe a handful of matches that had auto problems that were able to be solved quickly, i dont think there was any more than a ~40 min delay, and they were able to make up the time by teams moving quickly getting the field reset.

The scariest field moment wasnet even the fields fault! A robot during the match before us had some autonomus problems and made a full speed run directly at one of the field door/ramps. Hit with enough force to disengade the lock, flop down the ramp, and pop out the plexi covering. my drive team was standing just feet from where it happend waiting for our match, Made all of our alliace jump and take a few steps back!

Also, Bob from Innovation First at Buckeye was amazingly helpful. Team 1278 has been having many RC gremlins, and he has always been able to offer a helping hand or a suggestion!
