I don't think you should be too quick to jump to malicious intent. There could be dozens of reasons for what went on and the interpretations of the status indicators and/or movements (or lack-of) of the robots on the playing fields.

I know it's frustrating for teams when something they can't logically explain or figure out happens. It's happened to me before and it sure will happen again in the future but I don't think that malicious intent would have been involved in any of these scenarios.

Perhaps if the teams that were having these issues on each of their robots could more thoroughly explain what went on then perhaps we could have a better inside into the problem(s) and if any solutions came of them.
