This has happend to us twice...both in regional finals. One time we were declared the winner and one time the opposing alliance was. Both times were wrong and both times the wrong team went on defense first.
Sure, the 10 point bonus is easy to correct. But what about the change in strategy a team would do based on the outcome of autonomous mode?

The inability of the system to have humans override the autonomous mode scoring to get the winner right is something I hope gets corrected before Atlanta.

Yes, I clearly remember that during Final 2, but one thing still makes me unsure...

Since the balls are sometimes travelling VERY quickly through the goals,
are the Counters 100% dependable? I know they are very good, but sometimes the outcome of the match (F 1-2 in Detroit) would have made a possible difference and a possible win if the autonomous was in our favor.

I don't doubt the counters accuracy, I just don't like the effects of not having 100% accuracy.
