Re: YMTC - No battery plugged-in
If what I've read here about IFI's arena controller is right (in that it won't start a match unless all bots have a good signal--well, or an override for those three-bot practice matches), then we've got a malfunction of the arena (or the controller therein).
It's kinda like the finals at Palmetto. The #8 seed didn't have their teams straight for the match and nobody caught it until they started the intros. So technically the match had started, and they could've been DQed. But the other alliance let it go out of GP. Was it the legal thing to do? No. Was it the right thing to do? Absolutely.
Redo.
