Re: Is this fair?
Truly sorry to hear you plight. Remember, it was an honest mistake, therefore it should be forgiven. If, however, the next time you see the officials and they are sitting in wing back chairs, tenting their fingers while saying phrases such as "Excellent" and "evil laugh", feel free to hold a grudge.
A communication break down in a organization as large as FIRST is totally expected. Just remember, life goes on.
It might not have been the most fun thing to go through but look at it like this: You can now be sure that inspector will never have this happen to another team he inspects again. You took the bullet so someone else is spared. Thats selfless.
The inspectors and refs are only human and make mistakes too. Cut them some slack and enjoy the experience of FIRST.

Darn, I got into this for the battles!
