Is this going to log when balls are score? Or is it something else

Apparently it is. Few people on the forum said it's real high tech equipment tested to good limits. I think FIRST has done their homework on this one.

According to the guys at FIRST when asked about the camera system during the NH kickoff they said that the cameras count the balls as they come into the corral and that the camera is able to count many balls coming in at once. Pretty much it allows for real time scoring of the game.

I would prefer real-time

taking score. Thats my opinion.

Not in this game you won't. If humans were scoring the game, it would be a massive problem. There's just simply no way we can register exactly how many balls are dumped into a corral in a split second. An incredibly large number of teams would be very angry about getting "shafted" when they think they scored more balls than were counted, or any other number of mishaps.

In this case, machines>humans by far.
