Re: Week 4: So how's that Field Working?

The main problem is not the final score. That is easily corrected. It's when the autonomous mode is incorrectly scored and the wrong team is declared the winner and goes on defense first.

This has happend to us twice...both in regional finals. One time we were declared the winner and one time the opposing alliance was. Both times were wrong and both times the wrong team went on defense first.

Sure, the 10 point bonus is easy to correct. But what about the change in strategy a team would do based on the outcome of autonomous mode?

The inability of the system to have humans override the autonomous mode scoring to get the winner right is something I hope gets corrected before Atlanta.
