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

I wanted to get some sleep before I posted this. I am the game announcer at Great Lakes and the scoring system situation here is a nightmare. The blue alliance station real time score was accumulating most of the day. Meaning, after each match the blue alliance real time score would not get reset to 0. Even if red won the auton, the scoring system would place the green light on for the red alliance. However, the refs are doing a miraculous job at keeping track of who really won auton.

A scoring laptop reboot seemed to fix that problem and the real time started working (somewhat) again.

In matches 1 through 11, some of the results got transposed (red won, but blue got the win). This was human error and the rankings will get fixed before teams arrive this morning.

I think the system will be working much better today because we identified some software and hardware problems. However, we will still be using human back-up for scoring.

The real time scoring was working for the last few matches of the day, but the red high goal was not counting balls. I think that is also fixed.
