We actually touched on this subject briefly in a ref call with our event's head ref. I know my head ref likes to give the benefit of the doubt and has said there will not be stop watches. 60 seconds is a guideline. I think what we'll be looking at more than anything is not being on the field building your robot for 60 seconds longer than everyone else.
ie: teams 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 have assembled their robot and gone to their driver's station, but team 6 takes 2 minutes longer when they started at the same time.
It's going to be a tough call, nobody wants to give a YC for that. I don't think there's been a YC given at our regional for delay of game that I can remember.
Oh, and I think we are still sticking to 6 or 7 minute turn arounds, so good luck to everyone!
Show me the mentor who has never built a bad robot and I'll show you either a new mentor, a liar, or Andy Baker. - Andrew Schreiber [more]
