Re: double keeper-- yes
John didn't describe how they made a legal pre-match position. They loaded one keeper in their ringer. The other was placed on the floor next to but not touching the bumper. To make this keeper legal, they had one of their alliance members touch the keeper with the corner of the robot. Both keepers were "in possession" of one and only one robot.
As he mentions, the variables were whether the camera could lock onto the light and whether they could go back to find the second keeper. It seemed that the camera locked on quicker if the light happened to be positioned close to a 0-degree angle. If the rack was rotated so that the light was 30+ degrees off, they had a harder time. The first keeper might score, but the delay in finding the light meant they didn't have time to score the 2nd.
Just before that final match, Stevie noticed that we hadn't moved the rack. We went out and pushed, and the light happened to be pretty close to straight-on.
Congrats on finally getting it to go.
