In the first instance, HOT had a dead ball, as their robot's unresponsiveness prevented any progression for the alliance. That ball needed to be taken off the field once HOT started moving, and should not have been scored, as it was a dead ball.

In the second instance, you cannot score truss points and non-catch points in the same throw, which is why the ball was returned to a human player. The pedestal should not have been re-lit as no score actually took place. This is a very confusing instance which I have only seen once before, but this was handled correctly at Southfield, if applied at the end of the match.

The video doesn't show the score progression so I don't know if either ball was counted.
