I don't know that I would call it a tainted win because we don't have any real information (other than our observations) to support that it is a field problem. Yes, this is the first time we've seen this kind of failure on Einstein but I don't think anything should be taken away from the winning alliance. We'll probably learn more soon...hopefully.

Did they handle it right? I'd say that they handled it well after the first 2 failures by replaying the matches. After that, I'm sure they did the best they could. No one wants to see robot bricks on any field at any level.
