I'll comment that it ran very smoothly. The amount of delay per match was down to just putting the robots down and that was something to marvel.
In all my matches, i never saw one person push the start button too early or too late. While this won't necessarily be the case in all situations, i'm just noting that people's reaction speed and honesty are to be trusted.

Could you tell us more about thie method as implemented in Florida.

How many teams and fields were involved?

How far were the pits from the playing fields? I.E. Did you have to carry the laptops and game controllers around very far?

Were there tables for the laptops?

Was the laptop run by the coach(on the field)? If so did it take much of his/her time, effort concentration? I am concerned because our coach is a student and heavily involved in directing the drive team.

Thanks,
