Video Review Needs to Happen Now

[Briansmithtown]

Heres my input on this...

Back in 2014, out last match (match 90) at NYC was.... horrible to say the least. 2 of out alliances failed in the first 3 seconds, and we were the only running robot (you would not want to hear the anger that was behind the alliance wall) During the match, we pushed an opponent bot into our ball, and the ball scored low goal... that caused mass confusion with the field crew... 14 seconds later, we finally got the ball, and we have video of it taking that long... now this is where i flip the table. No, there should not be video reviewing, and you should just accept the results. BUT if there were video reviewing, the rule should be that you get one per regional/district. Now why one? Because there is simply no time. Especially this year when the field reset crew has a lot to do. Yes, me and my team were angry with the results, and did it help make us lose? Sure it did. But over time you just learn to take one on the chin, raise your head up high, and be the better man. You can sorta turn it into a life lesson if you want, by saying its like the real world where a mistake happens, and it doest work out for you at all, but you learn to deal with it and just keep moving on. Because trust me, there have been plenty of times where I wish I could show video and get things right, but you simply just can't. Thats a FIRST lesson.
