I hate to judge the situation without knowing all the facts, but it seems like the robotics team may have become the pawn in a political dispute.
I also am hesitant to put words down on this without at all knowing the full story, but I agree with your confusion. It just doesn't make sense to me to play it in such a hardline fashion. It just feels very political.
