I agree wholeheartedly with your comments about professionalism.
Just a comment specific to SF 2.1 GTR. In the situation at GTR, it wasn't a robot failure that kept 247 or 1507 off the field. The field crew and refs determined that they had taken to long to move their robot from queuing to the field (as per the timeout rules), and as such closed the gates. It was a strange situation to say the least. Anyone who was watching, must have seen the confusion on my face while I was introducing the teams and realizing that the match was missing two robots.
