Okay then. What I thought was the same ball coming back was actually a second ball going through.
A properly mounted sensor with bug-free software should
never encounter a problem like this. As I've said before, if
FIRST is going to base the outcome of matches on the reports of computer software (which I have no intrinsic problems with), they should at least allow the community to see the source code and help ensure that software is error-free.
