Re: Elevator robots why didn't you..

In the case of a rematch (or restart of an aborted match), the vision tetras are repositioned before the restart. This is to prevent teams from altering the state of their machines (repositioning, reprogramming, realigning, etc) after they know the location of the vision tetras from the first try at the match. To leave them in the preexisting postions would give the teams competing in that match an unfair advantage over all the other alliances, by allowing them access to knowledge that no other alliances would have in other matches (i.e. the vision tetra locations).
