Re: We was robbed!!!

Please try to avoide identifying specific teams and specific robots if you are going to talk negatively.

Regarding the match replay, and the statement that the autonomous points would not have made a difference, there is no way to know that. Had hybrid worked for the other alliance, there would have been 3 robots in different places on the field when the operator controlled period started. This would have changed robot to robot interaction, scoring, opportunities for penalties, and so on. There is no way to know all of those interactions and the effect on the match, so the only fair answer is a replay.

I am confident that every team that has been involved more than a few years could identify a particular match where they felt they were "robbed" - but they could probably also identify just as many where they received a "gift". Stuff happens, and it is dealt with as fairly as possible.
