Re: [FTC]: Email Blast: FIELD MANAGEMENT FORMAT FOR FTC WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

Eh, I don't know about this. It has the potential to save a lot of time, but there's suddenly a lot more room for error.

Also, some questions I'd like to see addressed:

-We've had occasional problems with the FMS freezing/spazzing out (both in practice and in real matches). What would happen to a team who had the bad luck to have their FMS crash, especially if the other three teams experienced no problems? Would they be allowed to replay the match?

-In case of a robot burning up a motor/being stuck in an infinite loop/something else really bad, would that team be allowed to disable their robot and otherwise let the match continue? (Kind of like pressing the emergency stop button in FRC)

Clarifying these points would be great.
