I agree with you. The refs messed up big time in one of our games. They claimed that we had never finished up our autonomous balls. Because of that, they believed that a ball we had in-bounded during tele-op was actually an autonomous ball, and for some reason, even the MC believed that the ball was from the autonomous period.

What puts the icing on the cake is that our alliance partner had irrefutable video evidence that we had scored our two autonomous balls. We, Team Banana, scored our high goal autonomous ball, our alliance partner scored the last autonomous ball as soon as tele-op started, and our third alliance partner was a dead robot.

Unfortunately, we are not allowed to show irrefutable video evidence to the referrees.

This was only one of many isolated incidents where we felt that we were wronged. This year's Orlando regional was a rotten banana, and I really think that our team should not come to the Orlando regional next year.
