Small FMS timer bug

[Dave Flowerday]

It appears the FMS does not properly measure time during the matches. It seems to add about 5 seconds to each 2-minute match. I noticed this while watching a webcast of the Milwaukee Regional and doing some timing measurements for something unrelated on my computer, and confirmed it while I was at the Midwest Regional this past weekend (to make sure it wasn't somehow related to the webcast).

I don't really think this is a big deal or anything; it's more of an interesting curiosity. However, I wonder how many matches teams have lost due to something that occurred in the last 5 seconds when the match should have been over? I'm pretty sure this has happened to us more than once. It's a little irritating to think that we may have won some of those matches if FIRST had followed their own rules... (I know, we've probably won some in those last 5 seconds too so it probably evens out...)
