I've always told teams to watch the clock for the end of autonomous and to not depend on audio cues.

I know it was a field fault not any fault of announcing. That false start was what brought up the question in the first place since many Moon rocks were thrown into disabled robots and no penalties were issued. Both teams and refs were going on the MC it makes sense that no penalties were issued. The Field at DC was the best I've seen this year, that was the only fault I remember. Great job Wetzel and the rest of the crew
