Video (153 v 89) compared to the FMS score @ TBA & the 'official' score @ FIRST: (133 v 89).
How would a scoring issue this big happen? If it happened this time, has it happened before? I'm just worried about something potentially happening like this at this weekend's regionals and hurting the teams when it does. Luckily it didn't hurt either alliance this time.
Thanks for your thoughts & comments on this matter. I'm going to be sharing this with FIRST and will let you know what they say. |
It has been a issue at some events with the system not displaying right. I remember numerous matches in a row at the Kettering District where one of the scores was in the 200 or 300 range. On the note of effecting those in a match, when I was a driver I was taught to play hard until the end of the match and the scores will reflect that. Meaning I rarely ever knew what the display score was.
FIRST is difficult and it is challenging, but you aren’t necessarily required to go off and build an 8 motor drivetrain and 4 motor / 8 pneumatic piston arm mechanism for the heck of it when a 2 motor non-shifting drivetrain and 2 motor arm does just as good a job. - Bill Gold [more]
