Match Length Question

I believe the error here is that you're assuming the teleoperated period starts when autonomous ends. There's actually a delay in between the two, and teleoperated doesn't actually start until about mid-way through the 3 bells that signify it's start. I know this because, as a driver, if you step over the line and grab the joystick before the bells to start teleop ring the robot won't actually do anything (because it's disabled at that point in time).

If memory serves me correctly the robot enables into teleoperated mode right around the second bell or so in the sequence of three, in which case there doesn't appear to be any issues since the second bell rings at 1:45 in that video, which would line up correctly with the 4:00 ending time.

EDIT: One other thing to remember is that the clock on the webcast (the one seen in the video) is not the official clock. The official clocks are located near the team numbers on each side of the field, and I've seen the two clocks off from each other by up to 5 seconds before. That could also be a contributing factor when watching the video. It's enough of a difference that most referees will actually bring it up in the driver's meeting at the start of a regional, telling you to not go by the clock on the big screen, but the one across the field from you instead.
