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.
To add to this post, I think FIRST should implement a system similar to pro football's where a team can challenge a call once per elims, and if they are right the call gets overturned, but if they are wrong then they lose their timeout.
