Re: Silicon Valley Regional 2008
I am on Team 192. Certainly I think that the 3rd match was poorly judged, and I also agree that previous matches were as well. The fact that we filed a complaint that was acknowledged as a human error but was not corrected strikes me very oddly. Clearly the 12 point bonus should have be rescored, however, due to the pressure on the reffs of the final match, there was a rematch, where again the reffs failed to call team 254 possessing a blue track ball, breaking a field element, AND pinning down a robot for over 6 seconds. I do not object to the fact that 254 and 100 are excellent robots that deserve first place. However, the defense team 8 played and its combination with 2024 and our strategies has clearly showed the point difference in matches 2, 3 and 4 of the finals. In each match I saw the blue alliance with a clear lead. And even after a bombardment of obscure penalties, I believe we should have a chance to go to nationals. I don't want to rob anything from the winning teams, I just want a shot for our animation that won regionals and for our robot that made it to the finals.
