Am I the only one who noticed MANY autonomous mis-scores at Waterloo? I watched 1114 get their autonomous overscored several times. Once they were somehow given 3 hurdles in that 15 seconds, giving them 64 points (this one was pointed out by Karthik and corrected, but the others I saw weren't, despite not having an effect on the match's outcome).
I saw one time for sure where they got 5 lines and 1 ball, and were assigned 36 points. To me, 5 lines and 1 ball is (5 lines x 4 pts/line) + (1 ball x 8pts/ball) = 28 pts, perhaps with a 2pt addition for a 'lap'
I'm relatively sure this happened in other matches too, I just happened to be paying particular attention to 1114.
Also, I think the refs were a bit trigger happy with <G22> on a few occasions (calling it when it didn't really happen), and also EXTREMELY trigger happy with <G42>, Hurdler interference. They were calling it if a passing team even so much as brushed a robot in the process of hurdling... but they weren't calling it when we (1075) were being impeded while trying to GET close enough to the overpass. (We're a launcher bot). Which is fine, as I don't think that was the intent, but it was irritating, as we got called on <G42> a couple times, and were never once helped by it.
In my mind, <G42> was intended to stop teams from pushing and shoving and disrupting a hurdlers attempt to hurdle. Brushing into them on the way by didn't disrupt them...
