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.

The opinions in this post are solely mine and do not constitute the opinion of Team 945.

Did you call dead ball on an autonomous ball?

If so, a new ball has to be inbounded and scored to finish your auto balls.
