Re: It could happen to you (but we hope not)

There is excellent video from this match found here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dfjmny25g...ll-final-2.mp4

The ball enters the red goal at 3:32 and you don't see a human player with a red ball until 3:59--27 seconds later. The referees were probably open to the possibility of a full cycle with a catch because a catch had happened twice at the event (and I believe the alliance robots that did an earlier truss and the catch were actually on this red alliance).

Cycles can be extremely fast too--20-30 seconds is reasonable for a perfect cycle. Unfortunately, there is also the issue that a dead ball was not called immediately on the blue stuck ball, which is probably also contributed to the need for a replay.
