Are you sure that's true? I was a volunteer doing field reset and heard the conversation between five or six Team 11 students and the referees. As an alum of 339 I was interested in the outcome. No one mentioned that 25 and 1676 had registered as second place. Had someone mentioned that, I imagine the head ref would have ruled in red's favor, as that proves that the minibot must have triggered the sensor (although the lights malfunctioned).

I don't really remember now how many lights were on. It doesn't matter now, but I guess this might be a lesson that when things don't work as planned, be as observant as possible to determine what went wrong.
