Aim High was another thing altogether. I can see the arguments: "No, we got 47 balls in the lower goal, and you only gave us credit for 33." How in the world is that going to be verified?
FLL scoring is done at the end of the round, when play has ceased, not live real-time like Aim High. FLL also has the luxury (usually) of having multiple fields. The score can be tallied, the field reset, and the next teams can begin setting up while another match is going on at the other field.

one thing that happened last year was that scoring was also based on camera count on balls in the lower goals. from what i heard and understand, they could only count so many fps and many balls weren't counted. i heard many teams talking about that problem, such as you stated that one team said they had 47, but the computer was only able to register 33, because if the balls were rolling in too fast (and many teams could dump all their balls at once, like if one team deposited 15 balls, the computer could only count 7 or 8, depending on the speed they were pushed in). they planned this game extremely well this year because in my opnion, it is extremely easy to tally the score, since there is that delay between the automous and the 2 minute round, they can decide on late keepers, and then its a simple one or 2 tubes per leg. the hardest part would be scoring rows and bonus, which still wouldn't take long.
