Re: battery re-do match at msf

We (team members and mentors) were all extremely surprised when the foghorn sounded.

We saw the battery come free, and fully expected the robot to be disabled and the match to continue per the rules. When they stopped the match, we figured they would remove the battery and restart the match, leaving the bot disabled.

It reminded us very vividly of a match in 2008 where they let our match continue until 4 seconds remained and then called it because a door came loose on the field. Cost us a birth in the semis.

At least, in the end, everything worked out correctly.

Congrats Huskies, Chickens and Hot.
