I think I may have saw one false trigger, but I can't confirm.

Chris, I spoke with a team member of 308 after that match. He stated that the tower was disabled due to early deployment. Anyone from 308 can correct me on this if I am wrong.

Our towers triggered every time we successfully deployed at Detroit. Minibot ~2.5lbs or .025 Karthiks at ~ 1.2 - 1.6 seconds.

BTW it was great working with you Chris, I will save my additional comments for the detroit thread.
