Re: Lap counted when lap indicator crosses line?

It really doesn't matter. The entire robot must have crossed the line for the lap to count. At the end of the game the refs will decide whether or not that last tick counts, based on the position of the robot.

During Hybrid, I'm sure there will have to be human counters, certainly for crossing the lane divider lines.
