Center Goal Jammed
Q: You mentioned in POST: http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread.php?t=144 that balls are counted by a vision system and photo-eye sensors in the goals, and somewhere we read that there will be a 5 second delay in-between periods to allow balls in the center goals to drop and be counted. We are wondering if the goals or chute EVER BECOME jammed, will there be an effort to UNJAM the chute so the balls will be counted? What if part of strategy is to dump a bunch of balls at the end of the match, will all those balls be counted inside the goal or only the balls that passed the vision counter BEFORE the match timer ended "buzzer", will be counted? Must we allow enough time for the balls to score in the center goal, and drop into the chute to be counted before the match ends?
