First, I'd like to thank all the judges, referees, and volunteers that I met and interacted with at the NYC regional. Second, I'd like to voice my concern over the communication errors that occurred during the elimination matches. I understand that having 65 teams continually shuffle through the field is difficult, but forcing teams to turn off their cameras in the finals wouldn't fly at most other regional competitions and definitely not at championships. Losing our Kinect feed completely crippled our ability to shoot.
More frustratingly, our robot lost communication during the teleop periods of our only elimination matches. Although the first couple of elimination matches were replayed, ours was not. Despite talking to some of the field management people, the ruling was never made and we were considered out without taking a single shot.
