It did not have functioning pit displays? Didn't output to the web? I must have missed that part...

Seems to have worked at least a few times.

The custom part was in the fact that you folks wanted to do something different and special for WPI. Thus the modified use of TACops to the current game, along with reverse engineering the scoring system to figure out how to start and stop the field.

Towards the future, it will probably work better this year than the previous 5 or 6 years, but in the end, people will find some fault or issue with the system this year. Just give it time.

On a final note, with all that was said last year, nobody had anything to say to the developers at championship. So complaining on here, doesn't do a whole heck of a lot, but have fun with it.
