I haven't seen a field in person yet, and I doubt the remote fields were built to competition specs., so I'm not sure if many folks are qualified to answer this.

I'm curious if the lap indicator's communication with the field hardware will be the only metric used to determine if a lap has been completed and how things like line of sight might interfere with that device.

Also, it makes me wonder if there's some advantage -- if ever so slight -- to mounting your flag pole and lap indicator nearest to the "front" edge of the robot, as it might be such that the lap indicator, not the entire robot, must pass through the plane of the finish line to register with the field.
