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.
If a replay review card is created for next season, I would be interested to see it used in a way similar to football. Giving each alliance captain one card, and if they win the challenge then they get the card back, but if they lose the challenge they don't get the card back. And your only allowed to use the challenge card a maximum of 3 times throughout the whole eliminations tournament. This would certainly add a new strategy element to the game.
