As was the case for 125's first qualifying match. Brandon Martus can attest: as he was the IFI official for Archimedes. We ran with 768 who was taking match video. In some odd manner our radio signals became 'mixed' in some way. Sometimes we would have control of their bot or a portion of ours, or both of the drive bases. It was an odd cenario that I thought could never happen. The 768 video showed their drive team talking to Brandon behind the glass while no one was near the control board, yet their robot made an appearance across the screen which was not due to uncentered sticks.
Once I saw the video I told the members of 125 and 768 going to present it: "Do not expect them to even look at it, and if they do, do not expect a rematch... that isn't how FIRST works it will purely be proof of the event."
The video was shown just for future knowledge of the incedent. Brandon, if you could shed some light on the subject that would be awesome. I never talked to any official personally, I got the info from word of mouth.
Proof of Corey's point
