Yes the sensors did seem to "take sides" during some matches. The center goal sensors were pretty accurate to my knowledge, but the corner goal ones tended to be off by a few every now and then. I recall a match where only 1 robot from an alliance scored by dumping all 10 balls into the corner goal, yet they were awarded 22 points (after the 10 point bonus). I know some teams got pretty upset with the difference between actual points and awarded points, but I'm sure the sensors either missed a ball or double counted a ball at least once in every match. Imagine teams complaining after every match... I like Abe's idea with the NFL-style Video Challenges.
