When the scoring software goes to the operator controlled portion of the match, try unplugging the controllers from the filed control. If the robots begin to work you may have a flaky field control and may need to contact IFI.

You may also want to switch out the cables that tether the transmitter to the field controls. We've seen the cables cause issues occasionally.

I've run the field at 2 scrimmages with no problems, so I know the scoring system software works correctly with the field controls.
I got the robots to work when I press this start button, but there is still a problem. The autonomous mode does not run the first 20 seconds! The robots just don't move (as if there was no autonomous code) there are still tele-operated.

On a side note, why is there a "VEX Arena Controller"? and the Scorekeeper?
Which do I use?
