Post Re: Eliminations replay card

I agree with many of the opinions on this thread, one of the main aspects of FRC is the engineering process involved within it. In life there are always going to be unexpected issues that may arise when running tests or in a performance situation such as a match in FRC. Teams should be presuming all of the possible outcomes of any scenario in which they participate in. This is all part of the extensive engineering procedures in which teams must prepare in order to accomplish any goals that are placed in front of them.

With that being said, there are always going to be technical failures in which the teams' robot has experienced some sort of near catastrophic event which does not fall under the category of which I described above. Unless there are situations where this may arise, I do not believe that a redo card would be right/fair to use. My personal opinion is that a replay review card for a team/alliance could be useful. This could be used for a questionable penalty calls, as well as slight replay calls when necessary. This could be instituted possibly once per team through all of the qualification matches, and maybe one per alliance, per round of eliminations. This could bring about more accurate calls and fairness to the competition side of FRC.
