Most of the time the students were too busy paying attention to what was going on on the field especially if their team was up and who's to say that they just won't fudge a score because they missed what was going on because they were watching the field. That's where I was going with that Idea. Maybe it wasn't worded the best or something I dunno. I've been involved with FIRST for 6 years I know how stuff goes and this year just seems to be the worst year scoring wise. SORRY if I offended anyone that wasn't my intention I was just trying to make a statement.

Be professional, get your facts straight before making a statement.
1. The students in Detroit were not competing. Their robot was sitting in the warehouse. They, like most of us who volunteer are not part of the actual competition. The team in question was there from setup until we pushed the crates into the truck. The event could not have happened without them.
2. The game design, not the volunteers are the root of the scoring issues. So stop blaming them, pehaps you should volunteer your time to be a scorer at an event and deal with the various claims of cheating, napping, mis scoring etc.
