Or just connecting with the same ip as your team, etc. The comments so far have all been from teams with robots that sound like the ones that would have won- is sabotage possible?

Good luck in the future, however! A glitch like that really sucks...
Very slim chance considering FMS uses WPA. Thats the purpose of the radio kiosk that all teams must use to re-program their radios at each event. The WPA keys are randomly generated by FMS at each event so you team's key will change between each event. The WPA key list is not available to teams.
