I know that last year, FIRST said that in the event of failure of the competition equipment, they would offer a rematch to the team that was affected. I know this because at one of our regionals last year, the competition controller for our station failed and our robot went on and off for several cycles. We were offered a rematch, but declined, sinc the final score was decent, and wouldn't change much after a rematch.

It's possible that the rules have changed since then, but that's what happened last year, and is what I am basing my information on.
