At Sacramento, we won one of our early qualifying matches. There were no penalties, and it looked from the stands like we had been beaten, so I was surprised. Later in the day, the win disappeared from our record, and our ranking dropped significantly. When we talked to the officials, we were told that there had been a mistake. I don't know where the mistake occurred, or if it is at all related to the problem at hand. However, I know that the officials were far too busy to be double-checking everything, so the way that the mistake came to light was probably by someone pointing it out. I don't know how many other problems like this were missed. It's hard to be critical of FIRST, but I hope they get this all straightened out soon. It's a real bummer to do everything you need to do with your robot and your alliance, only to have it fouled up by the computers.
