The majority of the matches the refs / others kept score manually.
When you say you looked at match results do you mean match review in FMS?

I just confirmed that our classmate battery was 75% charged. If this causes a problem then from the sounds of it maybe the classmate is not the computer to be using a driver station.....or as previously stated it should be able to be powered during competition.
I can't say about the classmate specifically, but some laptops do treat attached peripherals differently based on power profile and will select different power profiles based on the amount of perceived charge.

I've already ordered a power cable to connect an inverter to the standard robot battery. I don't want to go on the field with a classmate that is less than 100%. Especially considering the potentially long queue waits at championships.
