Re: Video Review Needs to Happen Now
I apologize for not reading 8 pages of posts, but reviewing videos is a bad idea.
The Original Poster brought up a valid point: They potentially lost 25 points and the match.
What about other fouls that were not called against their alliance? What about crossings for the other alliance the Ref's may have missed? Did the robot really start fully in the Neutral Zone and fully cross into the Courtyard?
Is this going to be like the NFL where each team gets to identify a play for review (throw an instant replay flag)? How long will the have to identify the point in the game? What is the penalty if the original ruling is upheld?
Not all fouls are on the field itself. What about cameras in the Castle area to enforce the 6 boulder limit? No touching across the line during Autonomous?
That Team delayed the match 2 minutes 37 seconds, and should have been called for delay. Robot broke contact with the Sally Port for 0.2 seconds and should have been credited with a cross.
The only source of instant replay video is FRC Cameras only, and one field camera from above won't be sufficient for all the rules. You can't allow an opportune video by a bystander, because that would be an unfair advantage. One team could have dozens of cameras, and only show the video when it helps their case.
The Ref's make the call which rule is enforced when. It happens real-time, and that is a major consistency of the enforcement of the rules between matches.
