Re: The Fraud of FTC Worlds - How FTC & FIRST have failed me forever.
I agree that the ref's have a difficult task to do and mostly do a great job. Instead of becoming disillusioned with FIRST, take this opportunity to make it better.

I have been at more than one FTC event where it was stated up front that there will not be any replays no matter what, which is the wrong message to send. If it is important enough for the students to bust their hump on, it is important enough for the correct decision to be made.

At State and higher level matches in FTC there is FIRST video that can be reviewed. I think a challenge system should be implemented to help the Referee's get the call right. No one wants a full season of blood, sweat, and tears to go down because of a mistaken call.
