Poll-Video Replay

[Richard Wallace]

I like the idea Ryan and others have been floating, to try video review at off-season events before allowing it at official FRC events. I believe there will be significant learning, development, and training required to make this work.

As EricH observed recently, red/yellow cards were only introduced to FRC events in 2010, after several years of use at IRI.

So I voted no, for now. I would like to see this implemented when the bugs are (mostly) worked out.

P.S. Can we have another thread for Pole-Video Replay? I'd like to see a few matches from the DS-mounted, R94 legal-height pole POV.

I don't think the issue is as binary as yes/no.

I think there SHOULD be some form of system in place outside of "sorry kid, that's what I saw", but there should be rules!

Like in the MLB how managers now get 1 or 2 challenges per game, or NFL coaches get x amount of challenges per game, FRC teams should get 1 challenge per event. You challenge correctly, you keep it. You challenge incorrectly, you lose it. You could even print out challenge coupons and have teams turn them in at the [?] box. Reset challenges for playoffs with Alliance Challenges, which are handed out along with the timeout and replacement robot coupons.

If done right, it wouldn't interfere with gameplay, and would divert pressure and misplaced anger away from the refs.

I happen to agree with you on this. If FIRST implements review, there will definitely be rules- I think we can all agree on that. By the question, I am simply asking whether there should be video review at all. I should have specified this in my original post.

Also, I think there is an interesting debate to be had on this. If video replay is implemented, what rules should be put on the books surrounding the subject?

Same reasoning for me, but I vote yes to show my support.
