I was watching that match from the side of the field. It was very unfortunate. However, I have to ask you one question: when it was clear something was wrong with your autonomous mode, why didn't your human player step off the pad and disable your robot?

next year if FIRST uses the camera our in the future they need to ban that certain color from around the field because it could really hurt another team our it just might get some one hurt. so please go to first and let them know something must be done not to let this happen again

I don't think it's fair to blame FIRST for this, nor do I think FIRST should have banned the color green around the field. They gave teams a very nice "out" this year by allowing them to disable their robots by having a human player step off the pad. Again, what happened in that match was very unfortunate, and I'm not trying to sound ungracious or unprofessional, but I don't think FIRST did anything wrong by not banning the color green around the field.
