Gracious Professional Sportsmanship?
This also happened this year at the Southern California Regionals. I cannot remember which match it was, it may have been just before the very last match, team 599 (Robodox) had a problem with their chain. They ran out on their 6 minutes, so the opposing alliance led by 69 (HYPER) used their timeout for 599. The Robodox were able to get a chain tensioner working and competed in the match.
