Re: YMTC - No battery plugged-in
First the team shoulda checked the battery status to make sure its A) charged B) plugged in and secured correctly and lastly c) make sure the breaker was turned on.
It was the teams fault that power was not on the robot, not FIRST's. Therefore I would let the match play to its end from there I have one or two options a) have a match replay (least likely since it wasn't FIRSTs fault the robot wasn't on) or b) the match plays its round and the score will be the score
now since you said its the finals this changes things quite a bit
Since this is a tie breaker. No 1 Alliance should have the upper hand on another. Since #1 Blue robot was unable to compete b/c of an honest team members mistake I would replay the match so that its a fair tie breaker. And so that red doesn't think they won b/c of an advantage. If this were to happen during the seeding rounds I would NOT replay the match but since its finals and a tie breaker I WILL replay this match. Out Gracious Professionalism and Fairness.
EDIT://
Rule T01 - Referees have ultimate authority during the competition. Their Rulings are final! The referees will not review any recorded replays!
I have just reviewd the rule book this was the closest rule I can find! Rule are rules and they are meant to not be broken. However I do not see any set rule requarding match replays.
