The judges and referees should have weighed available video evidence considering the importance of the final matches. I watched the YouTube video half a dozen times (at the crucial moments - took about 90 seconds to reach a conclusion) and it was clear that the RED ball was heading toward a RED alliance robot when #330 turned into the path of the RED ball. So if it was a 'strategic' move to inbound a ball to deflect an opponent’s ball tucked safely inside an opposing team robot then isn't it equally likely that #330 turned into the path of the RED ball in order to create the foul? Sure it is.
Do I believe that? Of course not! What we had here was a spirited match and given the situation neither the HP nor 330 were intentionally attempting to cause a foul. Had the ball been clearly over-thrown past all the RED robots to an open part of the field containing only a BLUE robot and its ball, then the refs have a 'strategic' foul to deal with. From what I understand, only a single referee saw the event and video evidence presented to the refs seconds after the match ended was not given due consideration.
I also agree with the assessment from Hayes92107: “Based on my GoPro video, the ball was being inbounded to 2485 when 330 tried to pass our robot to get into scoring position and the ball bounced off the blue ball that was within the passing robot”.
