But I have a solution that makes everyone happy.

As anyone who's familiar with iPods knows, they have both a progress bar and countdown clocks on the screen that are displayed when playing each song. A very similar concept can be adapted for use on the FRC scoreboard displays.

This would be a great idea and I think that we should use it at Competitions. It will be a lot easier for the drivers so that they can see how much time that they have left.

The only problem that I can see is that if they start doing that now, then some people who have already competed might complain.
