When a match ends the robot is still on, its just disabled. There might be some code in disabled I could look at... see if theres anything I can tweak.

Anything our robot does in the last second, I doubt, would change the result of the game. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that there are any "continuance" rules... if the robot stops and the ball is still going, the clock runs out and the ball scores, I don't believe that counts.

Also, when I talk about "last second", I mean the last bit of code that executes, so no driver could react that quickly, and it wouldn't waste time during the match.
