I think everyone on both sides would have been happier with a replay if that was possible. One of the few cases where in my opinion a replay of the match would have been a better solution as it was not intentional damage, but there is no allowance for that.

Fully agreed. That last match was sad. Both were great alliances but that final call was probably the right call according to the rules. Assuming 1024's robot could be fixed immediately and ready for match 4, I agree that the fans and probably both alliances would've been cool with a rematch

Their RoboRIO rebooted/lost com and the talons (on CAN bus) held their last state for a few seconds and caused the collector to move up and the robot to run into the low bar, at least that's what I heard from their driver before finals 2 began.

That wasn't really a fun match :/, especially because the role we had 1983 playing in those finals matches wasn't one such that we could lose them for a match and still come out on top easily.

Was that similar to what happened to 234 (my team) in this match?

We had a brownout issue that caused the radio to lose connection but left enough power to keep the tread going. To say the least, we had to E-Stop it.

I agree, Wayne, it's ok, we are all good here.

If you wanted to watch a favorite match, my favorite match was F1-2 when we had to call in the rookie team 6012 as backup bot in the finals... 829 broke their transmission in F1-1. In all honesty, I thought we wasn't going to make it, almost accepting defeat before the match started... so I tried to make the best of the moment for the rookie team. I tried to fire up the crowd for them, calm them down, ask them how it was going, showed them what we needed from them, etc. They were really nervous, understandably so. Watch how close and awesome this match was. But you know what? I asked them to get on the batter at the end, and they performed beautifully.

6012 are the guys who should be spot lighted, not 1501 or 1024 at Perry Meridian.
