There will always be a degree of human element involved, whether the ball hits a laser beam, a light beam, or otherwise. If the goal posts aren't extended further, someone will have to dictate whether the ball "touching the beam" would be a successful try/FG or not, as we all know a ball hitting the post does not make it a failed attempt if the force of the ball pushes it thru the posts and above the crossbar. And that will be the continued argument if this technology ever hits football fields across America....unless you make any contact with said goal posts at all a failed attempt. Enter the upper and lower crossbar argument.
