This is at the heart of the problems you're running into. You're right. This IS FIRST. It's a high school competition. How many high school sports accept video reply?
You're discussing a cell phone video. Do you believe it would be more fair for teams that have more members volunteering to be able to get more camera angles and thus have a better chance at a video replay than other teams? Would that be a "justice" in your mind?
People that are suggesting you move on aren't doing so for their benefit. They're removed from the emotion and are trying to find a reasonable fix. What you're asking for is an unlikely scenario. You stated the other teams only agreed with you after you shifted towards asking for a replay rather than a score correction. This makes it sound less like they entirely agreed with you.
It happened. It sounds frustrating. You make a point about impacting change. I'm not sure any meaningful change has ever resulted from ranting on a forum. I'm also not sure how much weight I'd put into a point laced with hyperbole. Calm the tone of your post and send it to FIRST. It's much easier to find middle ground with two rational arguments.
