Re: Mt. Olive 2014 Footage and Match Length Issue

But most people would call it a bug, when the system defaults to the wrong match times, and requires manual override to make the event run properly.

I get what people were saying, this was certainly unfair, but it seems unfair in the same way life is unfair. This doesn't ruffle my feathers too much, it seems like I'm in the minority.
So you're essentially suggesting that FIRST volunteers should find and patch bugs in the FMS system? The issue in this thread is the illogical method used to set match timing, but you don't have to look too hard to find multiple major issues with the FMS (hot goal timing & activation, poor UI/lag on the referee tablets, pedestal light activation delays). It's clear that the FMS (and game itself to an extent) was not developed or tested to the level of rigor necessary.

FIRST is going to receive over $750,000 in registration fees from MAR teams this season, but only $110,000 will go back to MAR to fund operation of the entire district. So yes, for that amount of money - I would expect that FIRST should be able to deliver a tested and well functioning field, since MAR and the volunteers are on the hook for essentially everything except a new game every year.
