We should have won match 18 but it was counted as a lose due to some bad judgments.
-469 was called for a penalty for "possessing an opponents ball" when the opposing human player clearly threw it into 469's robot
-During that same cycle we had clearly done three assist which was only counted as 2. This had mad a total of a 40 point swing so we lost.
-I had reviewed the match multiple times and had never seen a ref raise a flag. I understand there could have discussion afterward but there was not clear indication of a ref raising concern.

The cycle that starts at 1:37 is where all of this went down

I thought that too but rewatching it I think we get called for possesion midway through the match (at 1:50 of the video) when we bump the opposing alliance ball to the corner. The center ref raises the flag about 5 seconds later and walks to a touchscreen and enters the penalty.
