A problematic dynamic and culture becomes apparent when failure persists for such a duration and reoccurs so frequently that students begin to accept it as the norm, and never learn the proper way to do things. - sanddrag [more]

Yep, the lights at the top of the tower did register a first-place finish for that tower, even though a minibot never even began to climb! The scores after the match didn't reflect any race bonus, so no damage was done in that case...

I do hope that such an error wouldn't happen again... if there were multiple scoring minibots, the false trigger at the beginning could have thrown off the ranking of the minibots!
