Re: Robot Status on Scoreboard

While watching a live match you can tell that information already. The team light next to the team # on the player station starts to flash if signal is lost. (I suppose for a webcast it would depend on what camera view was being show to be able to tell)

You can also tell additional info from the robot signal light. For example, If there's loss of power from a battery issue the RSL would be out. For that example, comm would be lost as well because there would be no power to the radio (game adaptor).

As for having that displayed on the score screen, I guess it could be possible to show when a robot loses comm, but because there are so many reasons why that could possibly be I'm not sure if that information would be too useful to an audience.

If you spend a bit of time with the FTA and field crew at the events you start to learn a good deal about how to figure out why a robot stops moving during a match.
