Another problem with Video Review is that it affects game play. In football, basketball, baseball, the review happens with the play has stopped.

For FRC, video review is after the game is over. What if a shot is reviewed, and it is determined that it was an illegal shot (robot did not fully cross into the courtyard before launching the boulder), and should not have counted? That affects Tower Strength, and the Alliance may have played differently if it knew that it needed one more boulder to defeat the tower.

Maybe video review for something like a Red Card where it affects the outcome of the match (alliance gets 0 points), but does not affect the game itself.

> Any ideas on what could be used then if anything?
I am of the opinion that mostly bad things will come of Video Replay, and very little good. You have Amateur Ref's refing the game, and you are trying to hold them to a professional ref standard. What can you do? Live with the fact that some calls will go against you, and some will go your way. Hopefully in the aggregate, it all evens out in the end.

BTW: I watched a lot of matches from the Scoring Table, and I can confirm there were a lot of bad calls (and non-calls). However, that was due to my vantage point (and what I was looking at), and the Ref was calling it best he could from his vantage point (and what he was looking at).
