I was at LA and while I thought this was a really exciting match, I don't think it was the most controversial. The reason why it might be dubbed this though was because it was the last final match and the blue alliance had one robot up there (60) and the red alliance had two up there (294 & 696). This would have been enough for red to win because they would have gotten 50 poitns and blue would have gotten nothing since 60's robot was still clinched down to the mesh part of the ramp. However the mesh of the ramp got moved slightly up from wear and tear and there was a little part of the ramp touching one of the red robot's wheels. Since both of the red robots were touching each other and one was touching the ramp, neither were counted so it just came down to boxes in the end. The reason why I say it isn't that controversial is because even if red got 50 points they still needed more to surpass blue's first match win. It was still a great match nonetheless and kept us all in suspense as they tallied it all up.

edit: Ah, from Daniel's response posted at the same time as I was writing mine I can see why it would be controversial. Great attitude though, guess that's how you guys won the sportsmanship award.
