Re: A better way to handle fouls?

I really think that FRC needs replay. It's been implemented in sports, we can do it in robotics. Ignoring it as an option just seems a bit ridiculous. I understand that there are concerns about slowing things down, but it seems important especially when a foul call could totally change how a team does at a regional. The rule could be that if the foul can or did change the outcome of the match, that section of the match is reviewable.

I should say though that refs should still not be allowed to use footage provided by teams, I think that rule is fine.
