I can remember at least one match in 1675's history where we won and had to replay because of a field fault involving the communications of one of our alliance members. We won the replay if I remember correctly, but I don't think a replay is necessary there.
I disagree. If this is the case then having your robot go down is an advantage and you essentially get a free match. In football you can decline a penalty because the other team is giving you the advantage. The replay isn't being caused by the other alliance so why should they be punished for it?
