Basically we are just concerned about answering a boolean question here. As in: "Is the left goal hot?" If no, don't hold up the board/light and assume the right goal is hot. If yes, hold up your indicator.

Well, the problem right now with the high variance in timing of the hot goals,using that kind of methodology leads to the robot assuming a right hot goal while there is no hot goal.
The way 254 has done it, if both hands are in their respective boxes, the robot knows that neither hot goal has lit up, and therefore won't start it's autonomous routine until it receives data from the laptop saying that there is a hot goal to shoot balls into.
