i have to say i think the judges did the right thing

the team did the right thing by playing out the match anyway and waiting until the end because there was always the chance that they would not be granted a rematch.... they definitly deserved a rematch though.... if thier autonomous mode was not meant to be activated and through the fault of FIRST it was and it affected the match then they deserved a rematch... it is true that quite often teams deserve rematches and they are not granted so they had no choice but to stay and play it out just in case

the way i see it, the first match was fair and square, so why replay that one? the second one obviously wasnt so they replaced it with a fair match... two fair matches, nobody should be complaining

i understand its dissapointing to the non advancing seed, but trust me it would have been much harder for the other team if they hadnt advanced due to something they knew was unfair..... and its takes a lot of the sweetness out of winning if your opponent aquired a handicap in the match (unless you induced it)...... i think anyone who has ever beat a team because they lost power or control or something along those lines will agree
