Finally a note on the field controller. Hatch chose to create a system this year in which there was no hardware control panel. As a result the official field had as long as 2 sec latency between a robot disable, and the actual robot disable.
Intresting. I thought that the e-stop was just a disable button for the drivers. I doubt they would use another pin for the e-stop when they could just use the disable pin. I'm not sure thou. Might be something to ask the IFI people if such a pin even exists.

As for the latency, I recall seeing that. Following the auton, it seems like there was a long delay (well .. a couple of seconds) between the human control sound playing, and the humans actually gaining control. At Sac, I also remember seeing a robot not getting disabled when the human player jumped off the pressure pad. My jaw hit the ground when I watched it happen, I only saw it once thou.
