I for one am glad to hear this. Of course, I realize that the reason for this decision may have nothing to do with the utter failure of the scoring system during some of this year's events, and I know Hatch wasn't the only entity responsible.
However, on the two occasions this year that I got to meet and work with the particular Hatch employee who wrote the scoring software (and who is a FIRST alumnus), I was struck by the fact that he seemed rather apathetic when it came to the problems that plagued his software. I hope whoever is responsible for the scoring system in the future will be more passionate about their work.
