Re: Scoring incorrect

I have to say that I never saw a match miscalculated (or at least where a team lost dramatically because of it)

I will warn teams to be careful when they attach the flags to their robots. At Peachtree we were warned several times to attach our flags correctly (black wire to black wire) or else suffer the consequences of laps that didn't count.

BIG KUDOS to the crew down at Peachtree because even with the weather, the problems, and the complicated scoring, all of the volunteers did an awesome job reffing and judging. I seriously thought it was a well-run regional.

On another note, I would advise teams to assign a member of their group to calculate the number of hurdles, lines crossed, and balls pushed in the match to calculate the score (at least a guesstimate!) As the RoboCoach when the hybrid mode is over I personally keep track of how much our team does as well as penalties. While I didn't catch everything, it was still pretty obvious who won or at least where our score ended up.

Good Luck guys!!!
