Re: Video Review Needs to Happen Now

What if we had video review only for playoffs/eliminations and only the referees can call for video review? This wouldn't slow down the competition too much, and the refs would know exactly what happened. While some argue that "this isn't what FRC is about", I disagree. This allows for teams that should have gone to the next level, which could be the District Championship or World Championship. Those championships allow for much more inspiration than just a regional or district event. Also, the public opinion of teams about certain events would become more positive because they know that there was no error that caused them not to advance to the next level.

Imagine this: there is a finals match like the final Stronghold match we saw this year at an event. The teams are tied, and a referee mistake could allow for a team to advance that maybe shouldn't have.

I believe that this is something we need to experiment with, however the power should not be overused,and would need to be monitored very closely.
