Re: Instant Replay Challenge—A Thought Exercise
Here's my thought, have two cameras mounted on opposite ends of the field as shown in this video:
Then you would have a volunteer who would start and stop the cameras every match to create separate videos that would be ready for viewing at the end of the match.
At the tournament, teams would receive in their registration packet a replay slip with their team number printed to use during qualification matches. Teams may ask for a video review within a minute of the final score for their match being displayed. The only things that may be review are calls that change the winner of the match, red cards, yellow cards, and a robot being disabled by rule. If a team wants a review, they hand their slip to the head referee and he reviews it, if the team is correct, the call is reversed and the team receives their slip back; if the team is incorrect, the head referee keeps the replay card.
The same process is used in elimination matches except that each alliance will receive one slip marked with their alliance's seed and "Elimination."
The only downside to this is that there might be instances where a match would have to be replayed because of a missed call but that's still better than the incorrect call remaining.
