Hot Goal Timing Issues

Thankfully this wasn't an issue at GTRE, but nevertheless I hope it isn't an issue for our team at future events (and others if they use the saturation values of the hot goal--do any of you do this instead of using the retroreflective tape?).

We definitely noticed it being an issue at GTRE, and had to add in one second delay to make sure both our shots were fired on the correct goal.

Well, we had issues with the drive train early on and couldn't actually get going for the auton during that time, so I'm guessing that we just had the good fortune of having the camera delay how it sensed the hot goal once we got going.

I mean, that'd be a problem anywhere else and I definitely will be looking into that, but this time a delay in input seemed to work to our advantage

We experienced both the hot goal delay and the early match endings at San Diego.

We had to implement the same solution. Losing an entire second in autonomous is pretty detrimental.

Good News! The people in charge of the FMS are aware of this issue and are trying to fix it in time for week 3 events.

I volunteer as a scorekeeper and I get weekly updates, so my source is literally the guys who are in charge of updating the FMS.

Can confirm, this week's Scorekeeper update mentioned they're aware of the issue and working on a fix to be pushed out before week 3 events
