Might they have thought the captain of the blue alliance in semis 1 was trying to sub themselves out instead of in semis 2, especially with the card mixup?

I highly doubt it. We only requested the backup bot after the match that 1323 was not allowed to compete in had finished.
As a part time mentor of 1323, I too am deeply saddened by the events that unfolded. All I can hope for is a better explanation from FIRST for why these decisions were made.
