Re: Disappointment (long)

While I dislike targetting FIRST programmers, who in the world put a "third option" in the FIRST field programming? When the computer uses a random process with two options (red or blue) for determining which side goes on offense or defense first, there should not be a third option (no lights). I am going to guess that there is a >= or <= somewhere in that random string. I was seeing that occur many times at SVR and truthfully, as a viewer, it was kind of annoying, especially if one of those occurred in the final matches. What is probably occurring is that the field lights when it hits that "=" rather than a simple "<" or ">", it tries to activate both lights but runs into an error and activates none.
