Re: This year we need instant replay

Won't happen now, or ever.

It takes long enough between matches already when it comes to questionable situations. The last thing that needs to be done is make it take even longer with instant replay.

Even if FIRST did allow it, some regionals probably have fewer cameras than others, and these guys are not trained in operating cameras in a FIRST situation, unlike NFL cameramen. Half the time they're off focusing on some random robot or part of the field, and not where the action is happening. If they aren't filming something when it happens, there's no point.

Sorry you got screwed, but Im sure you've benefitted from a call that could have gone either way and went in your favor. If you haven't, you will at some point.
