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

I've noticed the spectator difficulty as well. I suspect it stems from the fact that in all previous games you had a decent shot of telling who was winning by just a glance at the field. This year, if real time scoring isn't working, you can blink and not have a clue who's winning.
See my report below, the pause after Autonomous is due to the "ball in goal" sensors which allow all the balls in the goal at the end of autonomous to be scored as autonomous points. There is no way to manually pause the field timer.
