The only thing that this is accomplishing is doing exactly that, making the winning alliance question their win. The best thing to do right now is to congratulate everyone on their performance, and make sure in the future, we don't need to have these discussions.
Perhaps it wasn't complete chance and the problems that occured had something to do with individual robots, but I will give alliances like archimedes the benefit of the doubt and say they really couldn't have done anything about it. If you switch a few variables I would say archimedes would have moved on, and on the other side the newton alliance might have moved on as well. It might not have been, but newton and archimedes were extremely unfortunate, and I feel bad for them. I do not feel like they should have lost at all. It was a tainted loss, and that means it was also a tainted win.
