Then why tell us to not blame FIRST, when it is clearly an issue caused by FIRST? Sure, a ref/volunteer/someone could have noticed and corrected it, but at the heart of the issue who is at fault?

More importantly, why are we playing on an untested FMS in a game where "what happens if the only scoring object for an alliance becomes stuck in a disabled robot?" was an afterthought?

To echo what Scott said, while changing the match time is indeed a feature, when the system boots up/restarts/what not, it shouldn't default to the incorrect settings. That is a bug.

And I thought bad calls/foresight couldn't get worse then that at that point in time.
