I'm not sure what you mean by "disqualified". If you're referring to <T10> and <T11>, no you weren't disqualified - or if you were, the score were corrected afterward. Take a look at the match scores and seeding points. If you add the seeding points from each match, you'll see that the total is 70, which is what the official rankings page says.
Had you been DQed in the first two, your seeding score would have been 62, and you would have been ranked 46th.

I assume that you actually mean that your robot simply didn't work because of communication problems (which is what it looks like from the match video). In short, that's unfortunate and painful, but it happens. You weren't the only team to have a dead robot because of field-related problems.
