And apparently all the other fields had at least one issue or another but were told that it was their robot and not the field. I think that it is time to figure out a better way of communication between the robots and the field, because that is a sad way to finish out the World Championships.
If widespread communication issues were validated, everything would be invalidated. Our win against your alliance in the semifinals (I don't remember if you guys had any disconnected in those matches). The 548/118 win over us in the finals (we had a disconnected 68 in the first finals).

The Head Ref on Newton seemed...quite unwilling to bend about anything, and much less willing to replay matches than any other ref this season, even in cases where there were blatant faults (ie, scoring display froze mid match).
